Alderman Davius Chambers said the frequency of calls has declined year over year and that the operator had been cooperative; the committee approved the renewal on a voice motion with no recorded objections.

Wisconsin Ave., despite recent police calls and neighborhood complaints about fights, noise and rodents.

The applicant, franchise operator Sean M. Kennedy, told the committee he purchased the location two years earlier and described personnel and security changes that he said reduced problems. Kennedy said employees involved in a recent physical altercation and other incidents were fired, the restaurant now has on-site security during peak hours, and the operator installed a parking-lot camera-monitoring unit. He said the store is closed to lobby service at 9 p.m., the drive-through opens at 6 a.m., and the drive-through closes at 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends.

Neighbor Quetzalit Tzib testified about years of noise, rats in the alley and the drive-through loudspeaker waking her family early each morning. Alderman Bob Baumann, the 4th District representative, said the location is difficult for any operator, but praised the current franchisee’s work to reduce nuisance calls and told the operator to move garbage pickup later in the morning to reduce early-morning noise. Kennedy agreed to ask the hauler to avoid pickups before 7 a.m. and to provide licensing staff and the alderman a contact for his IT or camera vendor to make sure police can access footage promptly for investigations.

The committee moved approval of the renewal on a voice motion; the chair recorded no objection. The record shows commitments from the operator to security staffing, de-escalation training for managers, and a cleaning/garbage schedule.","The Licensing Committee renewed the food-dealer license for McDonald’s at 2455 W.

National Ave.

Committee members said the decision was driven by repeated incidents since the business opened, including large, late-night fights, a shooting in which a patron and a security guard were wounded, multiple police premise checks, and instances where the business did not provide immediately-usable video surveillance to investigators. Aldermanic and neighborhood witnesses told the committee crowds from the bar block local streets, leave trash and create noise and disorder that disturb long-term residents.

Alderwoman José G. Zamarripa (8th District) made the motion recommending nonrenewal, saying the record shows “operation results in a threat to the health, safety or welfare of the public.” The committee voted to send a nonrenewal recommendation to the Common Council; the report will be forwarded to council and the licensee has the opportunity to file written exceptions and to appear before the full council. Attorney Travis Gresham confirmed the committee will prepare findings of fact and advised the owner on appeal timelines.

Police testimony and social-media video excerpts cited at the hearing described several serious incidents. Milwaukee Police Department officers said they found spent shell casings and a blood trail after a March incident in the alley behind the business and later received footage of a June outside fight that drew a crowd and caused traffic disruption. Officers also described New Year’s Eve enforcement that counted the crowd at more than the premise capacity (see clarification below). MPD witnesses told the committee the business has repeatedly been the focus of assigned patrols and that officers have found the business reluctant to provide immediately usable surveillance video in several investigations.

Neighbors and tenants described repeated late-night problems: loud crowds, fights, people urinating and increased drug activity in the alley behind the building, and vehicles blocking residential parking. The building owner testified he has filed for eviction and told the committee he found an application purporting to use the building’s kitchen that he had not authorized.

The licensee and counsel disputed some of the characterizations and emphasized steps taken since March, including a meeting with MPD, added cameras and a security plan; counsel asked the committee to consider progressive discipline such as a suspension instead of nonrenewal. The committee majority said the pattern and frequency of incidents since this business opened two years ago (managerial turnover and incidents began within weeks of opening) made progressive discipline insufficient.

The Licensing Committee’s recommendation now goes to the Common Council for a final decision. Under council rules the applicant may file written exceptions to the committee report (deadline specified in the council notice) and may appear before the council when the matter is considered.","The Milwaukee Licensing Committee voted to recommend the nonrenewal of La Cueva’s tavern and related licenses after repeated incidents — including fights, a shooting and crowd-control problems — and repeated neighborhood complaints.","actionData","errors"]
