She does say that her city "doesn't regulate" kennels, which, if true, is incredible. Maybe a special permit is not required for a kennel, but it is a commercial use. I must conclude that either the zoning code for D.C. allows a property owner to do anything, anywhere, or Ms.Menceimer missed something big when she purchased.
