Building Amenities: Life Safety Program
Emergencies can and do occur in even the finest office buildings. The best we can do is to anticipate them
where we can, and be prepared so as to minimize their effect.
At 1601 K Street, NW, the life safety program centers around a “Floor Warden” program, where a few
individuals on each floor are trained to lead the other occupants through emergency situations. Tenants are
taught where to seek safety for different life-threatening situations. The program includes annual meetings
and drills, often with the involvement of the DC Fire Department.
It is in every company’s best interests to have its employees learn and understand the property’s
Emergency Preparedness guidelines, not only as a responsible employer, but to avoid OSHA fines for each
employee found to be untrained to deal with various emergencies.
Please review carefully the section in this Tenant Handbook on Emergency Preparedness.
Building Amenities: Parking
Parking is available at this building. Monument Parking operates the parking garage and they provide
service for daily and monthly parking.

Building Operations: Landlord/Tenant Communication
For the purpose of effective Landlord-Tenant communication, two primary contacts are established within
each tenant company. The individual from a tenant company who interfaces with The JBG Commercial
Management office on day-to-day issues is referred to as the “Tenant Contact”. The individual from a tenant
company holding the most senior position (e.g. Managing Partner, President, Administrator) is referred to
as the “Principal Representative”. Kindly ensure that all official communications to the JBG Commercial
Management office come directly from either the Tenant Contact or the Principal Representative.

Building Security: Overview
Kastle Systems provides perimeter card access an Admiral Security provides security staff. A full time guard
is stationed at the main lobby desk 24 hours per day and 365 days per year. An additional loading dock
guard is posted from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
Building Security: After Hours Access
If visiting 1601 K Street after normal business hours, please see the front desk security guard to assist you
with your needs. If you are a tenant within the building you should have a key card or FOB that will allow you
to have access at all times.
Building Security: Building Access
During the hours of 8:00 am through 8:00 pm, Monday through Friday, and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 6:00
pm, 1601 K Street, NW is open to tenants, visitors and the general public. For the purpose of “access
control,” all other times are considered “after-hours.”
In order for an employee to access Tenant floors, the individual must be assigned an access card (at the
direction of the Tenant Contact). Once activated, the access card will enable access into the building.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET ANY UNKNOWN INDIVIDUALS “PIGGYBACK” OFF YOUR ACCESS
CARD. UNAUTHORIZED BUILDING ACCESS IS A SECURITY THREAT TO ALL PERSON(S) AND
BOTH BUILDING AND TENANT PROPERTY.
It is important that the Tenant Contact retrieves access cards from outgoing employees and return them to,
or promptly notify, the Management Office for deactivation of the card.
If you are expecting a visitor during security hours, please instruct them to check in with the security officer
on duty.
Building Security: Deliveries
General
All deliveries for tenants must take place through the loading dock and the service freight elevator. Tenants
must sign for and accept all deliveries; they must also arrange for immediate transport of those items to their
suite. Elevator scheduling is on a first-come, first-served basis. A representative from your firm must be
present to accept any delivery made after-hours.
All oversized/large deliveries (those requiring more than one hour or involving pieces with any dimension
greater than 5 feet) need to be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance with Building Management, and shall
take place during non-business hours. All small, routine deliveries can be arranged during non-peak times
with Building Management (see scheduled times below).
All delivery companies must bring Masonite to protect lobby floors. Walls, corners, and doorframes must
also be treated with appropriate protection to avoid damage. Small weekday deliveries can be made on a
first come first serve basis from 9 am to 5 pm.
After-Hours
Building staff will not accept or allow after-hours deliveries without prior arrangement and approval through
the Building Management office. After-hours deliveries may not be scheduled before 6:00 pm Building staff
cannot accept any type of mail or packages (i.e., general mail, certified or registered mail, FedEx packages,
UPS packages, etc.) from couriers coming into or exiting tenant suites. Property insurance requirements
prohibit this activity. Incoming deliveries must be referred directly to the tenant’s premises.
Building Security: General Office Security
Overview
As our society seems to have grown more dangerous, so has the need for all of us to be more security
conscious - corporately and individually. It is important for tenants to recognize that 1601 K Street, NW
offers a level of security generally comparable to other first class office buildings in the Washington, DC
area. This means that we seek to secure the building, while tenants retain the responsibility for their space
and the safety of their employees. Your company and your employees must maintain a prudent level of
security. Each individual needs to be security conscious, responsible and aware of his or her belongings and
office area.
Tenant Precautions
Building security needs your full cooperation in order to effectively secure your premises. We recommend
that your company implement these simple, but effective policies:
1. Do not leave your reception area unattended. If the area must be left unmanned, keep suite entry
doors locked.
2. Keep valuables in secured areas (locked desks, file cabinets, etc.) when not attended and out of sight
when attended.
3. Keep safes locked when unattended, and don’t leave the combination information where it is likely to
be found.
4. Record serial numbers of all valuable office equipment.
5. Solicitation is not permitted within 1601 K Street, NW. Report all unauthorized or suspicious persons
immediately to the Security Guard on the first floor at 202 429-4339 or the JBG Commercial
Management office at 202 429-4370. Provide a full description of the person(s) and the last area in
which they were observed, and, if possible, the direction in which they were headed.
6. Require identification from repairmen who come to work in your office suite. Messengers must also be
prepared to show identification and delivery papers at all times.
Security experts have found that the receptionist position is the best line of defense against potential
perpetrators. The receptionist should be trained to be the best “security” employee in the company.
When an employee leaves your office space, his or her need for vigilance continues. Remind your
employees that whether leaving the building to go to a meeting, retrieving a car in the parking garage, or
walking about the public areas of the building, move with a purpose and be reasonably on guard. This is
particularly true during the dark hours.
Meanwhile, do what you can to heighten the level of security awareness, and remind everyone to keep
valuables locked and out of sight.
Security Checklist
The following is a list of general office security suggestions, which are offered to you as an aid in
establishing your internal security procedures:
Restrict office keys to those who actually need them.
Keep complete, up-to-date records of the distribution of all office keys.
Establish uniform procedures for collecting keys prior to the termination of employees.
Establish a rule that keys must never be left unguarded on desks or cabinets.
Require that filing cabinet keys be removed from locks and placed in a secure location after opening
cabinets.
Prevent unauthorized personnel from reporting a lost key and receiving a replacement.
Ensure that a responsible person is in charge of issuing all keys.
Store keys systematically in a secured wall cabinet of either your own design or one that conforms to
a commercial key control system.
Insist on identification from repairmen who come to work in your office.
Clear all desks of important papers.
When working alone in the office at night, lock the front door to prevent anyone else from entering.
Keep the police, fire department, and building security telephone numbers posted.
Double check to see that all doors are securely locked before you leave.
Suspicious Persons
If you see suspicious or offensive persons in the building, please call the Management immediately. If
possible, make note of appearance, clothing, etc. in order to assist building security in locating them.
Please be aware of strangers in your Tenant areas and halls. Quite often a question such as “May I help
you locate someone?” will be enough to deter a potential thief. Suspicious encounters of this type should be
reported to the Office of the Building immediately.
Building Security: Key and Lock Policy
For any key or lock requests, please find the form listed as “Key Request Form”, Please fill this out and
return it to the management office.
Building Security: Lost and Found
Please contact the Management Office at 202 429-4370 to claim items that have been lost or found in the
buildings.
Building Security: Solicitation
Solicitation is not permitted. If someone is soliciting in your suite, then please notify the Management Office
at 202 429-4370 and we will send appropriate personnel to escort them off of the premises.
Building Services: Building Signage and Directory
An effective directory & signage program with consistently applied standards creates the most professional
overall image for the building and its tenants. The Management Office will provide the initial signage for the
building directory; however, Tenant’s are responsible for future signage changes and all suite signs. A
Signage Change Request Form must be submitted to JBG for all signage changes.
All suite entry signage is building standard and consistent within the building. Any non-building standard
signage requires the prior written approval of Landlord and Property Management.
Building Services: Cleaning
All office spaces and common areas are cleaned on a nightly basis, Monday through Friday. Tenants should
contact the Management Office for any special cleaning needs, or to report any cleaning deficiencies.
In situations where a tenant would like a box of trash disposed of, please write “TRASH/ BASURA” on the
box. All empty moving boxes should be flattened.
If a small cleaning problem should arise during working hours, please contact the Building Management.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the cleaning services, please notify the Building
Management’s Office.
Building Services: Elevators
The building is equipped with (4) OTIS passenger elevators, which provide service to all floors. Each
elevator runs at a speed of 350 feet per minute and can accommodate 3,500 pounds. Elevators cabs are
fashioned of custom frosted glass and satin finished stainless steel with Italian white marble flooring. The
building also provides an OTIS freight elevator with 4,000 pound capacity located off the service corridor.

Questions regarding the Electronic Tenant Services Request System should be directed to the Management
Office.
Building Services: Telecommunications
Locate System within Leased Space: Each tenant’s phone system is situated within its leased space, and
NOT in the building’s core and shell telephone or electrical rooms. This allows for easier access, reduces
the chance of damage due to overheating and alleviates overcrowding of the core telephone closet. The
telephone closets are intended only to accept the main cable “feed” which extends from the building’s riser
cables to your system.
Code Issues: “Plenum Rated” Cable and Independent Supports for Cable: As with most other modern
office buildings, the space above your ceiling is used as a return-air plenum. Various code requirements
affect plenum spaces. It is therefore essential that you instruct your cabling company (phone, data and
other) to use “plenum rated” cable for all cabling which will run above the ceiling. The building code also
requires that cables be independently supported, rather than sharing plumbing supports or wires installed to
hold ceiling systems or electrical conduits. Many cabling companies do not abide by this requirement
without specific instructions and follow-up by the tenant. Remedial work to correct improper installation can
be costly and have serious time delay considerations.
No Alternative Access Provider without Landlord’s Approval: Technological advances in
telecommunications have a profound impact on office buildings throughout the country. Tenant’s demands
for more sophisticated building provisions such as fiber optics and competition among access providers
places a greater burden on buildings to keep pace with this modernizing industry. Most buildings are limited
by the space available for providers to establish a “minimum point of presence,” in each floor’s telephone
closet and risers. Other issues include access to equipment, safety and security. It is important for all
tenants to recognize that no alternative access provider may be permitted a point of presence or riser cable
space in the building without the Landlord’s prior written approval.

Policies and Procedures: Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
The JBG Companies is striving to maintain ADA building compliance at 1601 K Street, NW. Tenants are
reminded that they are responsible for ADA compliance within their premises.
In the interest of meeting the intent of the ADA, all tenants are advised of the following four policies
designed to make 1601 K Street, NW as accessible and safe as possible where the property may not
physically be in compliance with the ADA:
1601 K Street, NW ADA Policy #1: General
1601 K Street, NW Building Management continues to evaluate the building with respect to the Americans
with Disabilities Act, and take measures to be in compliance. It is policy at this property that the building’s
staff will assist disabled individuals as reasonably needed in the building’s public areas. Such assistance is
to be provided upon request, or where observed to be needed by building staff.
1601 K Street, NW ADA Policy #2: Rescue Assistance
Out of concern for life safety, 1601 K Street, NW tenants must notify Building Management of any and all
physically challenged persons using the tenant’s premises. Notification must include the nature of the
disability and the normal location (floor and general area) of each individual.
As changes occur (e.g. in the event that the individual’s office is reassigned or use of the premises is
terminated, or a new physically challenged person begins to use the premises) Building Management must
be notified accordingly.
Strict adherence to this policy will help enhance proper, timely and efficient rescue assistance in the event of
an emergency. Without proper adherence, a disabled individual is at significantly higher risk with respect to
life safety.
1601 K Street, NW ADA Policy #3: Rescue Assistance Education
To be safely prepared for a building emergency (e.g. fire, tornado, etc.), physically challenged individuals
must receive special advance education/training. The nature of a person’s specific disability is likely to
dictate a particular response based on the physical nuances of 1601 K Street, NW and its emergency
reaction plan. It is each tenant’s responsibility to ensure that their employees, both the physically challenged
and those who may assist the physically challenged, are properly educated in this regard.
Concerned tenants should contact 1601 K Street, NW Building Management to
request help with rescue assistance education. Tenants are responsible for ensuring that this education is
reviewed periodically, and is welcome to request Building Management’s assistance in this regard. This
policy applies to physically challenged employees within the tenant office space, as well as physically
challenged visitors.
1601 K Street, NW ADA Policy #4: Elevator Access
In order to meet the intent of the ADA, it is policy at 1601 K Street, NW that the building’s staff will assist
physically challenged persons where they are restricted by elevator accessibility. Such assistance is to be
provided upon request or where observed to be needed by building staff.

was designed. The floor load for 1601 K Street, NW is 100 pounds per square foot – 80 pounds per square
foot live load, plus 20 pounds per square foot partition load. Should you find it necessary to utilize
equipment that exceeds this rating, you must receive prior written approval from Building Management. The
Landlord’s structural engineer shall review documentation provided by the tenant, and shall have the right to
prescribe the weight, size and position of all equipment, materials, furniture or other property brought into
the Building.
Tenants will be invoiced for the structural engineer’s services. Heavy objects shall stand on such platforms
as determined by Landlord to be necessary to properly distribute weight.
Policies and Procedures: Floor Covering
All floor coverings should be approved through Building Management. In particular, please be aware that
sponge or rubber-backed carpeting is not allowed.
Policies and Procedures: Insurance Protection
Prior to moving into the building, and at all times during your suite’s tenancy, each tenant must have on file
in the Management Office a Certificate of Insurance evidencing the coverage types and amounts stipulated
in the lease agreement. PPF OFF 1601 K Street, LLC and JBG Commercial Management, LLC, must be

contractor (construction, remodeling, moving, etc.) that performs work in the building prior to the start of any
activity. Such coverage must remain in effect until all work is completed. Tenant contractors that have not
met this requirement will be removed from the premises.
Policies and Procedures: Moving Procedures
General
In an effort to act in the best interest of the tenants and to protect the property, the following policies
regarding movement of office furniture and equipment into or out of the Building must be strictly adhered to.
Before engaging a moving or Delivery Company, please contact the Building Management Office in writing
no later than one week prior to any move to discuss your arrangements. All correspondence concerning
your move is to be directed to:
JBG Commercial Management Office
c/o Dawn Redmond, Senior Property Manager
1601 K Street, NW, Suite 160
Washington, DC 20006
Fax: 202 429-4376
A pre-move and follow-up walk-through should be coordinated with the Building Management Office in order
to document the condition of the affected areas of the building before and after the move. Any damage
caused by the movers will be repaired by a contractor of the Building Management’s choice, and paid for
promptly by the tenant or the moving contractor. To help
avoid such damage, movers must protect all flooring with Masonite, and walls, corners and doorframes are
to be treated with appropriate protection.
The actual relocation of a tenant’s offices begins with the tenant’s ideas on how the space is to function.
Relocation ends when the Building Engineer hands the tenant the keys to the front door of the premises. In
the interim, there is a tremendous amount of planning, estimating, and decision-making that must be
completed within the time frame set forth in the lease. Many different people are involved in the process.
Building Management will assist in every way possible to ensure a smooth and efficient relocation.

Policies and Procedures: Regulatory Conformance
It is in the best interest of the building and its tenants that all federal, state and local regulations governing
1601 K Street, NW are in practice at this property. Compliance with building codes, fire codes, health codes
and other ordinances often seems too inconvenient, difficult or costly, but in fact is essential for life safety
and well-being. 1601 K Street, NW is operated so as to abide with regulations to the best of Building
Management’s knowledge, and it is important that each tenant acts in the same fashion to avoid
jeopardizing the safety of the other tenants.
Asbestos
1601 K Street, NW will be carefully monitored to ensure that any possible presence of Asbestos Containing
Material “ACM” will be handled in full accordance with EPA regulation.
The “18-Inch Rule”
The “18 inch rule” is commonly overlooked in office buildings. In order for fire detection and suppression
systems to perform properly, nothing may be placed within 18 inches of the ceiling. This typically involves
items stored on high shelving. Please monitor this carefully to prevent this occurrence in your premises.
These two regulatory issues (and many others as well) are inherently relevant to your safe occupancy in
this building. Please call Building Management if you have questions in this regard.
Policies and Procedures: Remodeling Procedures
Before Construction:
Remodeling/redecorating work can be either minor or major, and may include any of the following:
Installing electrical or phone outlets
Installing or relocating light fixtures
Relocating doors
Repairing carpets
Installing new carpet
Adding or moving walls
Painting or wallcovering
Telephone or computer system cabling
As your office contemplates remodeling work for your suite at 1601 K Street, NW, several factors involving
the Landlord’s interface should be considered.
1. The Landlord must evaluate even the smallest change for its impact on the building. Written design
approval by Building Management is required prior to the commencement of work. For most projects
this can be accomplished in five (5) business days or less.
2. Be sure to provide two (2) copies of all applicable plans and specifications, so that we can return one
copy to you with our comments, and keep one copy for our files. The Landlord’s review helps ensure
that the proposed project will conform to the building’s core and shell systems, as well as the
standard construction practices and appropriate materials for the building.
3. The scope of various projects will require that the Tenant engage a licensed architect and/or
engineer. Check with Building Management to discuss our requirements in a specific instance.
4. Obtain approval of all contractors who will be working on your project by completing a Request for
Approved Contractors form. Landlord reserves the right to withhold the approval of any contractor who
cannot provide insurance coverage; is not licensed; or has previously caused problems.
During Construction:
The Landlord will require that all work that takes place comply with all governmental authorities with
jurisdiction over the project. It tends to simplify matters if contractors are selected from a Management’s
Approved Contractor List, though the tenant may still go through whatever process it feels necessary to
ensure that the contractor is qualified for the work.
1. No contractor will be allowed to begin work, until a Certificate of Insurance naming the additional
insureds has been received by the Management Office, and contractor has returned a sign copy of
the back page of the Contractor Rules and Regulations acknowledging that it has read and agrees to
all terms and conditions.
Please refer to: Contractor Rules and Regulations in the Exhibits Section.
2. A pre-construction meeting with the contractor, tenant, Building Management, and engineer is
strongly encouraged to ensure all parties are clear on the work to be performed and fully understand
the rules and regulations.
3. All work must be performed in accordance with the Site-Work Rules for the Board of Trade Building
(is this for both 1101 and Board of Trade? If so, you may want to change the header).
4. No loud noise is to take place during normal business hours, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. If a construction project is deemed to be disruptive to existing tenants and/or the
Landlord, the General Contractor shall reschedule work so as to eliminate disruption to the
satisfaction of Landlord at no additional cost to the Landlord.
After Construction:
Upon completion of the work, and depending on the nature of the project, the contractor must be required to
furnish certain items to the Landlord to assist with the Landlord’s future maintenance of the suite; to help
prove that the work was completed satisfactorily; and, to demonstrate that the property will remain free of
liens. We suggest that final payment be withheld from the contractor until the applicable project close-out
items have been obtained from the contractor and forwarded to the Landlord to ensure suitability (not all of
these will be required for many small projects - ask Building Management).
1. Final Inspection Approval Certificate and Certificate of Occupancy from DC Government.
2. As-built drawings depicting accurate field conditions in areas affected by the work.
3. Updated electrical panel schedules.
4. Lien releases from the General Contractor, subcontractors and suppliers.
5. Operating and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals.
6. HVAC Test & Balance Reports.
7. Written one (1) year warranty on all completed work and installed equipment.
Policies and Procedures: Seasonal Decorations
Holiday decorations (including trees and wreaths) set up in any place of public assembly, or lobby shall be
in conformance with the following specifications:
1. For safety purposes, only artificial trees may be displayed in 1601 K Street, NW
2. Artificial trees shall not be set up before December 1st, and must be removed by January 2nd or the
first business day after the holiday.
3. Trees must be placed so they do not in any way block an exit door, nor obscure an exit sign.
4. Only decorations of non-flammable material are to be used.
5. Electrical wiring shall NOT be used on metallic Christmas trees. Metallic trees may be illuminated by
use of spotlights placed a safe distance away.
6. Any electric lights used on trees must conform to electric code and be U.L. approved.
7. All artificial trees must be flame retardant to the satisfaction of the DC Fire Marshall.
8. Use of any candle or flame decorations is prohibited.
Policies and Procedures: Smoking
All public aspects of 1601 K Street, NW have been declared “Non-Smoking Areas.” This includes
restrooms, stairways, surrounding area, corridors, lobbies, and elevators, etc. Smokers may use areas on
the exterior of the property that from time-to-time may be designated “smoking areas.” These areas are
subject to change, and Building Management will notify tenants accordingly. We ask all smokers’
cooperation in properly extinguishing and disposing of cigarette butts in the ash urns provided for this
purpose. This will help Building Management maintain the cleanliness of the exterior of the property, and
make for more pleasant surroundings for everyone.
Currently, the loading dock is the designated smoking area, subject to change at Building Management’s
discretion. Smoking is prohibited by the main lobby and K Street entrances and in the common area along
16th Street.
Tenants’ assistance in self-enforcing this policy is important in order for meaningful regulation. This sort of
arrangement is generally consistent with the other first class office buildings in the Washington, DC area.
Policies and Procedures: Soliciting
In order to relieve tenants of the burden of uninvited soliciting on the premises, soliciting is prohibited at
1601 K Street, NW. If someone is soliciting on your floor or in your suite, please notify the Security
Personnel at 202 429-4339 or the JBG Commercial Management Office at 202 429-4370 and the
appropriate personnel will be sent to encourage the solicitor’s departure.

initially to all tenants, repair or replacement of blinds is provided through Building Management at an
