Is there a basic percentage I can work off of?

It doesn't look very good to me if they are this slow to help with basic questions from a person wanting to join if they say one of the benefits of online is that they are responsive.Anyways that was my introduction and thanks for your time. 

Ive been meaning to do a blog post on that, or throw the info on my website, but I havnt had time to get to doing it.In DC the regulations are basically the basement unit needs a seperate electric meter, 7 foot ceiling height on 70% of the basement, an egress window, and front and rear doors, only available to owner occupants.
