So who owns the building?!


Since yesterday's post with the photos of the ANC 8C office emails have been coming in wanting to know who owns the building where the ANC 8C office is located. You asked and you shall receive.

According to DC Office of Tax and Revenue  Taxpayer  Service Center  the owner of 3125 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE is listed as:

Owner Name: IVORINE FORSYTHE

I don't know who Ivorine Forsythe is but when I did the same search of the property a year ago Carolyn Forsythe was listed as the owner of the property. It looks like they are keeping the building in the family.  I did a Google search of both Carolyn and Ivorine Forsythe and it looks like they own or are affiliated with a company called Capital Services & Supplies, Inc. It's not clear if CCSI owns the MLK Ave property or if the property just happens to be owned by Ivorine Forsythe who is listed as the President of Capital Services & Supplies Inc. but either way one would expect the property to be in much better condition for a company that has contracts with both the DC and Federal government.
