Public Easement Lines
Legal interests that allow government or public use of private land for specific purposes, such as utilities, access, or preservation, managed primarily through the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the Office of Planning. These easements are frequently established for maintenance of public infrastructure or after alley closings. Property owners must obtain written consent from the easement holder before building or subdividing, and they cannot build structures within the easement area. Under 42–1902.16 of the DC Code, valid easements exist for encroachments and support.
