Jenkinsburg council renews Southside Brake license with 90-day compliance conditions

After a council hearing on April 14, 2025, the Jenkinsburg City Council voted to renew the 2025 business license for Robert Allen, who operates Southside Brake and Auto at 2361 Highway 42 N.

Council Member Gary Brown moved to renew the license on three conditions: the business property will be periodically inspected for local code and ordinance violations; current local code and ordinance violations must be corrected and fully compliant within 90 days of April 14, 2025; and if the licensee is not compliant within the 90-day period the business license will be revoked immediately with no further appeal. Brent Eberspacher seconded the motion. The motion passed, with Council recording four ayes and one nay (Jason Watts).

The action follows a formal appeal hearing on the revocation. The council’s conditions create a 90-day compliance window during which city inspections and corrective actions are required; failure to meet the conditions triggers automatic revocation without further appeal. The council did not specify further administrative follow-up beyond the inspection requirement and the 90-day deadline.

The decision settles the appeal by renewing the license under explicit compliance terms. The council’s next procedural step will be city staff inspections and monitoring of remediation; the transcript notes the requirement but does not list a reporting schedule or enforcement officer.
