The first significant incident discussed involved 94 Shirley Street, Boss LLC, located in Roxbury, where an alleged indecent assault and battery took place on October 3, 2025. The incident was reported to have involved Luis Trenz, the owner of a restaurant within the building, who was accused of inappropriately touching an employee after sending him money via a mobile payment app. The suspect had left the scene before police arrived. During the meeting, the board heard from Riley Andrews, director of operations for the LLC, who stated that the accused was not directly employed by the LLC but by one of the individual businesses within the building.

Detective Gallagher of the Boston Police Department presented a report detailing the events, and Andrews emphasized the LLC’s zero-tolerance policy for such behavior, noting that the accused individual was terminated and banned from the premises.

The board took the matter under advisement, requesting further documentation to review the LLC’s actions and responsibilities concerning the incident.
