Me: Hi, I live in the building across the street and... (get cut off)
Receptionist Lady: and the lights are on?
Me: Yes, the lights in the apartment on the top floor over the pool have been on for the last few weeks. They shine right into my bedroom.
Receptionist Lady: From all the way across the street? Don't you have curtains?
Me: Well yes but they don't block out all the light (I didn't want to tell her that I actually like sleeping with the curtains open because then I get to wake up to a room full of sunshine).
Receptionist Lady: Well sometimes "they" leave the lights on for a variety of reasons.
Me: Well, like I said, they've been on for a few weeks. Does anyone live there? (knowing full well the answer is no because the curtains are always open, I never see anyone and there is no furniture)
Receptionist Lady: No, but as I told you before "they" leave them on for a variety of reasons.
Me: Well, can you ask them to turn them off? Or at least close the blinds? Its very disturbing to me.
Receptionist Lady: Well I can ask "them". (staring at me like I'm crazy for even suggesting it)

Go over, pretend you are a new tenant, and ask if they can show you that apartment. Close the blinds while you are there.
you live in dc. if someone has lights on in the top of a building it is likely a spy agency. i would tread carefully.
I love this kind of stuff! I think things like this are so classic!
well apparently my complaining worked, the blinds are now closed. hallelujah.
