Celebrating Our Community

Wesley Housing's Grand Opening of The Arden

January 13 was the Grand Opening celebration for Wesley Housing's, The Arden. The newest multifamily community in the Mount Vernon District. The Arden provides safe, quality, affordable housing for households with low to moderate income. As older communities undergo significant revitalization efforts, affordable housing is critical to ensure all our residents have housing options that are within their budget and in their neighborhood of choice. This location is also home to Wesley Housing's new office. Channel 16 video.

Mount Vernon Rec Center Groundbreaking

It was a beautiful day, January 18 breaking ground for the expansion and renovation of the Mount Vernon Rec Center. This major project is expected to take two years to complete. When finished the facility will have two NHL-sized ice rinks, a two-level dedicated fitness area, an elevated indoor track, swimming pool, climbing wall and multi-purpose rooms. This will be an incredibly exciting addition to the District and I look forward to it's opening in 2025. Channel 16 Video.

Opioid Overdoses on the Rise: Learn How to Get Help

Six key facts about fentanyl:

1. Fentanyl is involved in more deaths of Americans under 50 than any other cause of death, including heart disease, cancer and all other accidents.
2. Practically all of the pills seized by law enforcement are fake, and 40% contain a potentially lethal amount of fentanyl.
3. Fentanyl is involved in more American youth drug deaths than heroin, meth, cocaine, benzos and Rx drugs combined.
4. Fake pills have been found in all 50 states. Assume any prescription med you see online is fake.
5. Fentanyl is cheap, potent and profitable, so dealers use it to make fake pills.
6. Illegally made fentanyl is the primary driver of the recent increase in all U.S. overdose deaths.

Recent Kia and Hyundai Car Thefts

Kudos to the Franconia Police Station officers! We recently saw a spike in thefts of Hyundai and Kia vehicles, notably model years 2010-2020, with 33 countwide since January. This trend began several years ago in the Midwest and is beginning to receive attention here in the DMV, as these model vehicles are vulnerable due to a security flaw that is well-illustrated on social media. When the Franconia team noticed this trend in Lorton with 9 thefts, they immediately provided awareness and crime prevention strategies via Nextdoor and broader messaging on this trend in the Franconia Community Report. Operationally, the station partnered with the County Auto Crime Enforcement Unit and increased presence in the neighborhoods most impacted, resulting in multiple arrests. Additionally, Franconia Police Captain John Lieb partnered with Kia and Hyundai to provide 200+ steering wheel locks free to residents at the Lorton Community Center on Saturday.

Beech Leaf Disease (BLD) Confirmed

The Urban Forest Management Division (UFMD) has been closely monitoring the situation since September, when the disease was detected in the County at Burke Lake Park, Fountainhead Park and Hemlock Overlook Park. Good tree care, including proper mulching and watering during droughts may be helpful. There is on-going research underway to learn more about BLD and how to effectively treat it. Experts are looking into the possibility that transmission may be through bacteria, fungi and mites. BLD is not harmful to humans, animals or other tree species and yard plants.

Residents who believe a tree may be infected are strongly urged to report it to pestmail@fairfaxcounty.gov and include pictures of the tree. Reports also can be made by calling 703-324-1770 TTY 711. Reporting potential infestations will allow UFMD to quickly begin monitoring BLD and provide treatment once it is developed. Learn more.

Chronic Wasting Disease Detected in White-Tailed Deer

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been confirmed for the first time in a white-tailed deer harvested in the County. An adult male deer that was harvested on private land in Vienna this deer hunting season has tested positive for CWD. The sample was obtained by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) from a taxidermist participating in statewide CWD surveillance and confirmed positive for CWD through laboratory testing. This deer was harvested and tested independently from the Fairfax County Deer Management Program. Read more from Fairfax County Police Department News.

Code Compliance - Permits and Inspections

A common violation found in Department of Code Compliance (DCC) investigations is construction conducted without required permits or inspections. The Virginia Construction Code (VCC) requires that permits and inspections be obtained for certain types of construction or installations, many of which are very common property improvements. Any time a permit is required, the scope of work must pass all required inspections, including a final inspection by a County inspector. County inspectors do not conduct an inspection unless the inspection is scheduled. Therefore, the property owner or contractor must contact the County to schedule it. Property owners may be unaware of permit and inspection requirements, resulting in violations of the VCC and possible safety hazards, so there is great benefit to learning these requirements before pursuing a project. Learn more bout permit requirements for construction and installations.

How does DCC enforce? 

• DCC Investigators inspect and photograph the property to determine if there is a violation and try to contact the property owner to discuss the nature of the complaint or violation. 
• If there is a violation, a Notice of Violation (NOV) is issued directing the property owner to resolve the violation. 
• The NOV provides the owner with a specific timeline to comply.
• DCC Investigators reinspect the property after the provided time to comply has expired, to determine whether the violation has been resolved.
• Failure to comply with the NOV can result in the County taking legal action, such as seeking civil penalties or a court order to resolve the violation.

DCC accepts complaints and concerns about potential violations on the DCC website, or by telephone during regular business hours, at 703-324-1300.
