Open questions
- Ordinance text not yet verified against the municipal code. Direct WebFetch of the Municode page and an r.jina.ai proxy both returned only an access/rendering error (Municode's JavaScript-driven ordinance viewer could not be retrieved as text); a follow-up web search located only the chapter's mini table of contents (§§26-151 through 26-164) without the operative rent-increase text.
- The DCA survey's numeric 'limit' field for Randolph was the raw decimal 0.06; this is interpreted here as 6% (a literal unit conversion, not an invented figure), but has not been independently confirmed against ordinance text.
