Lighting description
The windows are on two sides: front of the building (facing west) and the side of the building (south facing). The late afternoon is brightest. We do have UV foil, but we don't have blackout curtains. In the past, film crews used black cardboard to keep out natural light.
The windows are vertical ones in a double-hung style, and have large window sills. There are no window grids, just plain glass.
Space is not soundproof
Ambient noise description
Noise from neighbours is not an issue, although one can sometimes hear voices and music from the rooftop bar across the alley. This is not a problem during the morning hours and in the early afternoon at all.
The street, 6th Street NW, is not overly busy, but there is a fire station south of our building, and when they respond to an emergency call, one does hear the sirens. The AC is on the roof, and cannot be heard.
Crew access
Stairs, Ground Floor, Elevator
Equipment loading description
We don't really have a loading zone. We do have access to the building directly from the street through a side entrance. This will also give you access to the elevator.

The offices on the top floor are off-limit.

Electrical system description
It's a former residential building, and probably has residential power rating. We have had TV crews here without any problems. The outlets are mostly on the walls, but we also have two that are on the floor. There are 25 accessible outlets, and we also have one or two extension cords and outlet strips. The circuit breakers are located in the basement, which requires a key.
