As the owner of a small DC-based nonprofit, I know how difficult it can be to keep up with confusing and often changing regulations of local and federal bureaucracies. Relying solely on mail notification, for example, is totally unacceptable. The owner ought to have sufficient warning by phone or visited prior to such drastic measures.Save Murkys!

Closing murky is a yet-avoidable catastrophe! The District must be made to understand that many people are here for the small businesses. Use the power and payroll of the city to make compliance easy.
As others have commented, many new business ideas were hatched in murky. Is this shuttering is the final lesson for these future entrepreneurs and small businessmen -- go to Maryland. No death penalty for small business!
