A D.C. Superior Court judge this month approved a discrimination lawsuit filed by a tenant who was kicked out of his luxury apartment after being wounded in his doorway in a shooting that likely targeted a neighboring apartment where drugs were located.
Patrick Oseni, who is Black, filed the lawsuit in September 2021 against UDR Inc., which operates the Capitol View on 14th apartment building in Columbia Heights, alleging that the real estate corporation targeted him due to his race and ousted him from his one-bedroom luxury apartment, for which he paid more than $3,000 a month in rent.
