Longtime D.C. Government Watchdogs' Property Auctioned at Tax Sale

The Columbia Heights property where Dorothy Brizill and Gary Imhoff's three-story brick home used to stand was auctioned off at the D.C. tax sale earlier this month. Their house on Girard Street NW burned down in 2012 and had been in a state of disrepair for years before that.

The couple of good-government watchdogs who co-founded the DC Watch and for years have been a thorn in the side of city bureaucrats, owe $58,215.23 in back property taxes, according to the tax sale list.

D.C. resident Theresa Bollech, who attended the sale last week and has had her own past issues with the tax sale, tells LL that the property went to a bidder who offered up $75,000. A spokesperson for the Office of Chief Financial Officer confirms that amount, and says the bid came from Andy and Debbie Wilson, LLC. The 2019 property assessment is $836,000.

Andy and Debbie Wilson, LLC has bid at several tax sales over the years, dating back to at least 2010, according to the buyers' books published on the Office of Tax and Revenue's website.
