One of many auction properties: 3004 13th Street, N.W.

The Department of Housing and Community Development has finally released the list of buyers from its D.C. vacant property auction, held Jan. 30.

So now you can know if your new neighbors are low-key residents, who just found their perfect fixer-upper project…Or developers with possibly other things in mind.

I wrote a lot about the auction around the time that it occurred. First I talked about the properties garnering the most attention before the event. Then, I wrote about the highest-selling buildings. Then, I wrote about why renovations could be even more painful than your normal, average, dump-transformation projects.

This morning, I also received a press release announcing a public hearing regarding the auction’s buyers. It will take place on March 19 at 441 4th Street NW (One Judiciary Square) inside the Old Council Chamber.

Here’s the entire press release from DHCD:
