When I lived in Lansing MI, a city with a big (for a city its size) abandoned house problem, the city had a "make safe or demolish" law in which inspectors could recommend that a city board order that a seemingly abandoned property either be brought up to code within so many days or it would be demolished by the city (with costs and fees charged to the owner or record).

Maybe DC needs something like that. Get aggressive.
