1) Do they have a permit specifically to do this excavation work at this property? I looked at the permits linked above and didn't see anything that specifically said excavations. If they are doing foundations work, that may even require a special permit. And what could they be doing? It looks like the first part of the excavation work follows the 2 white PVC pipes which look possibly like 4" sewer drain pipes. So possibly they wanted to locate those pipes. But in this photo they are breaking up all of the asphalt and there is an excavation already completed by the far wall where the step ladder is sitting. So it appears that they are actually lower the entire floor?

If this is illegal work it can be reported to the DC building inspector.

2) Any guess why there would be a ping pong table at this location if they are renovating the entire building? Because they take breaks and play ping pong?

3) What is the graffiti above the ping pong table? Has anyone analyzed this?
