That's what ROSA is for, but you still can't get a permit. Those are the rules because DC is clogged with cars and they want to be able to provide space for people who live in the city year-round. Street permits are hugely subsidized for full-time residents. If you don't like it, you could live part time in the suburbs instead.

Imagine that, some people live two places. What a meme bike boy you are. And people wonder why no one pays their tickets. Just charge for the permit and youll actually have people pay, no one wants to lose voting rights for no benefit

There’s a finite amount of curb space and you don’t live there so this line of reasoning doesn’t make sense. Tell your employer to provide transit benefits.

>do nonprofits/business get parking permits if they own the residential building,

If you live and register your vehicle at that address, then yes. You're a resident and can get an RPP.

If you don't, then no, you're not a resident and can't get an RPP.

Your submission appears to be asking about parking.

Your first resources are available here and here.

Unless you are in a residential area of the city, there is no such thing as reliably free and easy long-term parking. Please read parking signs carefully, even locals get confused sometimes.

Useful apps for parking include ParkMobile for street parking and SpotHero for garage spaces.

Visiting a friend in the city? Ask them for a free visitor parking pass from any MPD station.

Did you receive a ticket? Are you guilty? If so, pay it. Pictures and incorrect information doesn't matter.
