Mass General Law chapter 138 section 64 and board's rule 1.03 J and 1.06 a and f um I want to so we're talking about the overcapacity uh very confusing what the ly was trying to say as far as a clerical eror she said the same thing to us repeated times before um the capacity is 52 um I don't see that as a clerical er error um I see a violation for overcrowding yeah and and we had them in not that long ago on and pretty much exact same number actually yeah it was yeah it it seems like they're flouting they think they are entitled to a larger capacity for some reason and they're sticking to that instead of the one that we have on the license so excuse me I vote for a second warning um and I'm concerned that they don't have ISD and place of assembly um and I would like to note that they need to get that to us I know there's some scheduling conflicts with City departments but if we don't have that by the end of April we will um suspend their license sounds good to me what what would you think about a suspension held in abeyance instead of it's so close to the last time they did it it the second warning doesn't seem like enough that I I could get behind that um when was the last viol it was in February and this was in October yeah it was January and then we we were in front of them in February we had a long conversation with them about how they were operating as like a full-on nightclub it was getting it was pretty crazy and we we talked them down pretty hard and and they told us they were going to get in line and clearly they didn't so commissioner Karin you want to a vote to um yeah I just think it's too close and I I think it I think it was a you know a purposeful choice on on their part it was no mistake so I I just I don't think a second warning with you know with the inside of a year at the last time it happening I think that if it been outside a year maybe I could go with you know that that's my thought I mean not that I can't go with a warning but I second your motion fine so six months in in bance or sounds Saxon commissioner Saxon said six months in a ban that sounds good to me so violation with a one-day suspension to be held in abeyance for six months uh and as well um board is requiring that they submit valid certificate of inspection and place of assembly um by April 30th yes thank you item number number six Alon silhouette Lounge LLC
