D.C.Code § 42-3404.03(4) (2001). The owner's obligation is to make this information available to the tenant "within 7 days after receiving a request." § 42-3404.03(3). The last sentence of subsection (4) refers to one aspect of this obligation as "the requirement to provide a floor plan" (emphasis added). Later sections of TOPA dealing with the sale of accommodations of different sizes all use common language to refer back to this requirement: "For every day of delay in providing information by the owner as required by this subchapter, the negotiation period is extended by 1 day." § 42-3404.09(2); § 42-3404.10(2); § 42-3404.11(2) (emphasis added). In context, therefore, providing information to tenants is synonymous with making it available to them. If the owner had mailed the information and it still were in the mail stream after the seven-day deadline had expired, each day that passed before the mail arrived would be counted as a day of delay.
