We linked to the news in this morning's roundup, but just ran across these photos of the crash posted by Frozen Tropics. "Amazingly, no injuries have been reported," the blogger writes of the scene she captured in the 1100 block of Montello Avenue NE late last night. Indeed.

Yesterday Mayor Fenty announced a new Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs program that will put all 4,800 apartment buildings in the District on a mandatory four-year inspection cycle (two years if inspectors find substantial code violations). Before now, DCRA inspections only occurred after tenants reported problems. The program is being touted as a more proactive way to protect residents, particularly low income ones, from slumlords. (Check out Hamil Harris's story in the Post for an amusing anecdote from the presser, which took place at a Southeast apartment building that Fenty was holding up as an inspection success story. Harris reports that city officials appeared "taken by surprise" by a group of residents who interrupted the mayor to point out existing code violations in the building.)

Thanks to joekerstef for uploading this colorful photo of D.C.'s iconic rowhouses in Adams Morgan to the DCist flickr pool. Anyone know the exact location of these gems? EXIF.
