Though he can snag Serena and Venus Williams to play on his tennis team, the Washington Kastles, dealing with miffed neighbors is a harder feat for Mark Ein.
In a scathing editorial in the Georgetown Metropolitan, Ein was called a “terrible steward, even worse neighbor” over a buildup of snow on the sidewalk of his 19th-century Beall-Washington home, better known as the home of the late Washington Post owner Katharine Graham.
Ein has not moved in since he purchased the property in 2002, which has caused some to whisper that he’s not maintaining the estate and wondering if he will ever move in — or if he has plans to flip it.
But Ein said it isn’t so.
“I am still planning on moving and living there. The blogger is wrong,” Ein told Yeas & Nays. “That is completely why I bought it. I viewed it as something I would own for a long time.”
Until Ein moves in, he said he has a caretaker and property manager, who were assured by a contractor the snow was cleared. When Ein read the complaint, he had the snow shoveled.
