Thank

I

note
before
I

the
record.
It

not
appear
that

The
licensee
was
served
notice
by
the
license
the
license
premise:

at
the
time
of
the
inspection
and
was
also
emailed

latina
inc
doing
business
as
makumba
latina.
The
licensed

A
A
Seeing
no
one
detective
hernandez,
could
you
please
raise
your
right
hand?
Do
you
swear
to
tell
the
truth
the
whole
truth
and
nothing,
but
the
truth.
C
C
C
While
walking
up
to
makuma
latina
located
at
477
river
street
detectives
observed
a
very
long
line
of
patrons
waiting
to
enter
the
establishment,
as
detectives
tried
to
walk
up
to
the
front
door,
detectives
could
not
reach
the
door
because
a
large
crowd
they
had
gathered
at
the
end.
At
the
entrance
detectives
observed,
the
security
person
was
trying
to
push
patrons
back
so
that
he
could
open
the
door.
C
I
just
had
to
assist
him
with
moving
the
crowd
in
order
to
enter
the
premise
once
inside
the
establishment
detectives
observed
multiple
patrons
standing
and
walking
around
without
any
face
coverings
on
detectives.
Also
noticed
that
the
premise
had
a
disc
jockey
providing
live
musical
entertainment,
reiterate
the
importance
of
the
governor's
covet
guidelines
and
boston
licenses
for
advisory
on
the
current
prohibition
of
these
activities.
Detectives
brought
this
to
the
attention
the
person
in
charge,
mr
max
hernandez.
Mr
fernandez
stated
that
he
would
bring
the
establishment
into
compliance
as
a
result
of
what
detectives
observed.
C
China
detective
gallagher
issued
a
license:
promise
inspection
notice,
zero,
four,
eight
one,
nine
seven.
This
notice
was
failing
to
hear
the
governor's
covert
guidelines
in
the
boston's
licensing
board
advisory
of
no
patrons
waiting
in
line
patrons
walking
around
without
face
coverings
and
the
promise
providing
disc
jockey
live
entertainment.
C
Mr
fernandez
signed
for
and
accepted
the
notice
detectives
will
also
inform
mr
fernandez
that
the
kumulotinas
to
appear
before
the
boston
licensing
board
for
an
emergency
hearing
on
monday
march
29
2021
at
11,
am
mr
fernandez,
will
provide
an
emergency
license:
premise,
notice,
hearing
notice
in
end
and.
A
B
Just
to
clarify
for
the
record
detective,
the
person
you
handle
handed
the
the
violation
to
is
that
the
manager
of
record,
or
was
it
just
the
manager
on
duty,
that
night.
C
I
I
believe,
he's
the
either
one
of
the
one
of
the
owners
or
one
of
the
managers
he's
he's
always
there.
When
we've
gone
there.
B
B
Yes,
given
all
the
circumstances
that
were
presented
in
writing
and
today
at
the
hearing,
I
vote
to
suspend
the
license
indefinitely.
Is
there
a.
