Hopefully this is the last post of this kind. This is just answering if the Bates Street Associates (BSA) ever owned the property?
37 Bates Street NW (Sq 615, lot 288) – Well, no. Basiliko sold the property to the Bates Street Partnership in 1978 (document # 7800034103). The Bates Street Partnership with George Diaz and Edward Kassoff as signatories, were not the same (as far as I can tell) as the Bates Street Associates.
60 Bates Street NW (Sq 615, lot 811)- Yes. While I cannot locate a deed transferring the property from Basiliko to the DC Redevelopment Agency (RLA), there is the deed and contract (docs #8000020294 and #8000020221) transferring it from the DC RLA to the BSA Limited Partnership.
227 Bates Street NW (Sq 552, lot 93)- Kinda hard to say….. I’m going to go with no. There is a confusing document (# 8000014566) that is a mortgage release for the Bates Street Associates, Inc, but it was owned by Maude and Farin Boykin.
229 Bates Street NW (Sq 552, lot 94)- Yes. Like 60 Bates St NW the property from Basiliko to the DC RLA, followed by a deed and contract (docs #7900028039 and #7800024140) transferring it from the DC RLA to the BSA Inc.
