The owner of the Terrace Manor apartments in Southeast D.C. sought bankruptcy protection Thursday amid fresh allegations that it failed to respond to housing code violations at the 61-unit housing complex, the Washington Business Journal reported on Friday. The chapter 11 filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District put a temporary hold on two motions that D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine filed earlier on Thursday against Terrace Manor LLC stemming from housing code violations. The LLC, which is owned by an affiliate of Bethesda-based Sanford Capital, listed between $1 million and $10 million in assets and the same amount in liabilities.
