Attorney general urges hotel to shutter, citing cleanliness, licensing concerns

Attorney General Linda Singer requested a D.C. Superior Court judge to close the President’s Inn, at 1600 New York Ave., NE, because the city says the hotel is operating without a business license or a valid certificate of occupancy.
