From YouTube: Boston Licensing Board Voting Hearing 9-15-22
Description
The Licensing Board for the City of Boston holds licensed premise inspection hearings on Tuesdays, transactional hearings on Wednesdays and voting hearings on Thursdays weekly pursuant to Governor Charles Baker’s executive order (the “Order”) issued March 22, 2020, temporarily modifying certain requirements of the Open Meeting Law (M.G.L. ch. 30A s. 20) due to the ongoing public health crisis due to Covid-19 (coronavirus).
A
A
A
C
B
I
see
no
violation
on
the
part
of
the
licensee
and
they
also
provide
testimony
that
they've
updated
their
guest
member
process
intake
process.
So
I'm
comfortable
with
that.
C
C
E
B
Yeah
I
think
they've
I
think
they
had
updated
it
by
the
time
they
had
appeared
before
us.

I
agree:
Danny,
do
you
want
to
read
I'm
sorry
Commissioners?
Well,
it's
going
to
ask
Danny
to
read
both
of
them
in
at
the
same
time.
A
You
would
like
to
take
the
two
overcrowding
violations
together.
Yes,
please:

I'll,

data.
This
incident
was
June
27
2022
over
capacity
crowd
gathered
outside
obstructing
pedestrians,
in
violation
of
math,
generalized
chapter
138,
section
64
and
Boards
rule
1.03,
J
and
1.06.
A
and
F.
B
So
I'm
going
to
back
up
and
say
again,
the
police
are
responding
to
two
complaints
for
loud
music
on
June
20th.
They
arrived
and
there
were
100
people
over
capacity
and
I
see
this
as
a
courageous
violation.
B
The
licensee
didn't
testify
that
the
door
person
was
fired
right
away,
but
one
week
later
the
police
showed
up
again
and
again
they
were
over
by
they
were
over
capacity,
while
the
second
one
was
not
nearly
as
egregious
as
the
first
taken
together
with
one
week
apart,
I,
don't
believe.
The
licensee
took
the
first
incident
serious
enough.
B
F
On
number
four,
the
second
one,
it's
just
the
way
it's
written
I
was
a
little
confused
about,
because
I
was
willing
to
give
him
the
benefit
of
the
doubt.
On
the.
F
But
that
didn't
really,
you
know,
negate
the
fact
that
he
he
still
had
extra
people
inside
so
I
I
was
a
little
uncomfortable
about
the
Way
It
Was
Written
I,
don't
know.
If,
in
our
decision
we
can
kind
of
note
that
it
was
for
the
over
capacity
and
not
the
crowd
from
for
me,
it
wasn't
the
crowd.
I,
don't
know
about
you
guys,
but.
B
D
D
C
B
Yeah
yeah
I
think
the
timing
of
it
is
what
is
alarming
to
me
and
I,
create
commission
occurring
that
the
crowd
outside
isn't
necessarily
their
sole
responsibility.
I,
don't
think
on
its
own
being
over
by
three,
would
would
rise
to
the
level
of
shutting
the
place
down,
but
in
light
of
the
fact,
it
is
one
week
later,
I
believe
that
the
licensee
should
have
been
properly
properly
aware
of
this
type
of
event
happening
and
should
have
maintained
his
capacity
inside
to
an
exact
number
based
on
the
fact
of
the
police.
B
Were
there
a
week
before
was
such
an
egregious
number
I'm
not
looking
to
hit
them
on
the
second
one
on
its
own,
but
taking
them
together.
This
would
be
a
second
violation
and
with
the
May
one
being
so
close
to
it
I.
My
vote
would
be
for
a
one
day,
suspension
I.
F
Agree
and
we've
said
before
that,
especially
he
was
anticipating
the
event-
the
soccer
game.
Yes,
you
need
to
build
in,
like
some
buffer
extra
staff
like
that
is
that's
actually
not
an
excuse.
That's
actually
more
reason
to
be
more
on
top
of
a
situation,
not
what
you
know
an
excuse.
It's
often
used
in
its
use.
Oh,
it
was
a
big
event
and.
B
I
agree-
and
we
see
this
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
We
have
seen
this
repeatedly
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
We
see
this
in
the
north
by
North
Station.
We
see
this
in
Fenway
and
it's
no
longer
a
reason
or
an
excuse
that
there
was
a
big
game.
These
things
do
not
come
as
a
surprise
and
they
need
to
be
properly
staffed.
I.
D
A
So
just
so
I
understand
is
the
vote.
I
understand
we've
talked
about
these
two
violations
together.
Just
want
to
understand
where
the
vote
for
a
one-day
suspension
is
coming.
Is
it
on
each
violation?
Is
the
vote
for
one
one
day
suspension
on
the
second
of
these
violations?
If
you,
we
just
clarify
for
the
record.
F
B
So
in
the
DACA
Danny
I
would
I
would
note
the
second
one
as
a
violation.
C
A
Item
number
five:
one
day:
Cleaning
Services
Inc,
doing
business
as
Billiards
Columbia,
located
at
28
Bennington
Street
in
East
Boston
date
of
the
incident;
July
9th
2022
failure
to
cooperate
with
police
in
violation
of
mass
generalize,
chapter
138,
section,
64
and
Boards
rule
1.14,
B,
and
failure
to
comply
with
security
plan
on
file
with
the
licensing
board.
In
violation
of
mass
generalize,
chapter
138,
section
64.
C
B
I
agree
am
I,
I
would
vote
for
a
written
warning,
I'm
failing
to
cooperate
and
failure
to
comply
with
a
security
plan.
F
I
agree
normally
I
think
I
would
go
straight
to
a
suspension
on
a
you
know:
headline
failure
to
cooperate,
but
I,
don't
I
think
there
might
have
been
a
failure
of
communication
within,
but
it's
still
his
fault
that
the
communication
didn't
happen.
So
I'd
be
comfortable
with
only
a
warning,
but
normally
I,
don't
even
know.
If
failure
to
cooperate
generally
fits
with
the
warning
that
you
know
I
would
think.
Normally
we
go
right
to
a
suspension
but
I
think
in
these
particular
circumstances,
I
think
it's
appropriate
just
go
with
just
a
warning.
B
Agree
with
the
warning,
okay
and
I
agree
with
you,
commissioner
Curran.
It
was
hard
to
determine
whether
or
not
he
received
the
notifications
I,
don't
discount
the
fact
that
the
police
attempted
to.
B
Staff
called
the
police
based
upon
a
video
that
was
submitted,
I,
don't
believe
the
staff
could
have
done
any
more
to
assist
this
person,
they
were
cooperative
and
they
did
everything
they
could
I
see
no
violation.
F
G
A
Did
this
happen
yeah
it
happened
after
hours
outside
the
USD.
Well,
the
the
testimony
was
that
the
fight
happened.
Outside
The,
Establishment
after
hours.
F
I
do
especially
in
light
of
previous
hearings.
With
this
place,
we
had
already
cited
them
for
doing
the
same
thing
and
the
the
testimony
about
not
knowing
the
process
of
changing
didn't
really
ring.
True,
in
light
of
the
fact
that
we
already
explained
the
process
and
they've
already
just
gone
through
it,
to
get
the
11
to
2,
A.M
delivery
only
license.
D
Sam,
when
was
that
last
year,
it.
F
Wasn't
that
long
ago,
I
remember
it
happening
I,
just
I,
you
know
because
of
the
where
it
is
and
stuff
I'm
familiar
with
the
pizza
place
and
stuff,
but
it
I
remember
very
clearly
that
even
back,
then
they
were
saying
you
know:
what's
the
process
to
get
a
later
license
and
and
we
went
through
the
process
and
then
they
went
through
the
process.
We
had
another
hearing
where
we
granted
them
an
11
to
2
for
delivery.
F
B
So
this
would
be
I,
believe,
baseball
and
DACA.
The
second
warning
second
written
warning,
Danny
and
I
would
like
them
to
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
they
submit
the
signage
that
they
posted,
saying
that
it
is
closed
at
11,
that
they
lock
their
door,
and
that
is
only
for
their
own
delivery
person.
After
11
pm.
C
D
I
agree
so
their
own
delivery
person
that
were
they
talking
about
Uber
drivers,.
F
They
have
a
gray
area
at
this
point.
You
know
whether
we
would
consider
Uber
drivers.
You
know
delivery
or
pickup,
because
in
one
sense,
if
they're
picking
up
in
another
sense,
they're
doing
deliveries
it's
kind
of
like
in
in
it's
a
middle
ground.
Now
it's
a
new
Middle
Ground.
What's
the
you
know,
what
distinction
do
we
want
to
have
there,
but
I
I
I
think
the
the
suggestion
that
they
work
the
door
people
outside
and
you
know,
give
it
to
their
that
that
would
kind
of.
B
So
if
an
Uber
Eats
driver
arrived
as
long
as
the
door
was
locked
and
there
was
someone
working
the
door
to
allow
the
person
in
and
to
lock
the
door
after
the
person
left,
that
is
fine.
We
don't
want
people
walking
inside
placing
an
order
waiting
for
the
order
and
then
taking
it
home
with
them.
There's
a
difference
and
there's
a
reason.
Why
there's
a
difference?
They
don't
want
people
congregating
at
that
hour
of
the
night.
They
don't
want
crowds
Gathering.
E
B
I
think
we'll
have
to
require
this
in
other
parts
of
the
city
too.
We're
seeing
this
more
and
more
often,
it's
resulting
in
a
ton
of
complaints
to
the
board
from
Neighbors
that,
if
someone
does
move
towards
having
delivery
after
closing
hour
to
extend
their.
C
B
A
Okay,
so
if
I
can
sum
up,
it
sounds
like
what
what
the
what
the
vote
is
today,
the
vote
is
for
a
violation
you're,
showing
a
warning.
We
are
asking
for
proof
of
updated
signage
of
their
correct
hours,
as
well
as
a
late
night
delivery
operations
plan
for
approval
by
the
board.
Yep
great.
Thank
you.
Does
that
sound
right
too
everyone
German
drinks
as
well.
Yes,
okay,.
B
I
completely
discredit
the
licensees
testimony
that
were
unaware
that
this
was
happening
and
even
if
they
were
unaware
they
were,
they
are
responsible
to
make
themselves
aware
when
people
come
and
bring
their
own
alcohol
to
their
patio.
This
is
a
CV.
Only
so
I
see
a
violation
and
I
would
vote
for
a
written
warning
as.
E
C
A
Item
number
11

at

the

was
put

notice
of
the
potential
cancellation
of

due
to
the
alleged

The
testimony
was
that
this

this
building,
went
through
an
extensive
bpda
public
process
a
while
back,
and
they
were
able
to
demonstrate.
The
public
need
was
for
more
economic
development
in

I
approve

I
believe
Mr

also
approve
the

I
think
they
wanted
to
change
the
closing

Is
that
correct
that.
B
Okay,
so
I
prove.

I
believe
Mr

has
the
appropriate
character
and
fitness
to
be
approved
as
a
manager
of

by
this
board.
This
is
a
transfer
from
Roxbury
to
Newbury,

and
I
do
realize.
We
don't
always
see
that,
but
this
Roxbury

has
been
closed
for
years
and
now
we'll
be
getting
a
family
run.
Mediterranean
Greek,
fast

Newbury

I
think
they
demonstrated
public
need
for

I
think.
That's
the
only
other
thing
that
we
needed
to
approve.
