Miguel Gonzales spent his life in Adams Morgan. After he lost his job, the woman who raised him died, and their condominium was foreclosed on, he slept on streets in the neighborhood. On a freezing night in March, Gonzales died where he’d grown up.
However, Allan said she and Gonzales moved out of the plaza in 2019 — chased away by those who pitched tents and brought drugs and violence to what had been a private oasis.“The bank didn’t do anything wrong,” Allan said. “They’re just going about their business.”
The city has declined to publicly detail specifics of their interactions with Gonzales or say what help was provided to him. David Swammy said he grew up with Gonzales and attended Oyster Adams with him. They bonded over their outsider status — Swammy moved to the District from London, while Gonzales came from the Dominican Republic.
“The last thing I told him — ‘Don’t end up on the street.’ He had the condo. I was like, ‘Don’t give that condo up,’” Swammy said.Cynthia Pols, a telecommunications attorney and Adams Morgan resident, said she became an “accidental expert” in property law helping with the neighborhood’s case against Truist and researching how Gonzales lost his home.Gonzales’s building — the Pasadena at 2633 Adams Mill Road NW — was a co-op that converted to a condominium in 2004, according to Pols.
