The District government has revoked the licenses of 33 used car lots/auto repair shops and ordered and additional 54 to shape up or risk a similar fate, Mayor Adrian Fenty announced.

Fenty and several top aides gathered outside L.J. Automotive on Blair Road to announce progress in the six-month enforcement sweep of what the city deems “dangerous and unsightly” lots that pockmark the city and are the subject of frequent neighborhood complaints.
