Fire officials identified blocked exits, taped over detectors, combustible storage under stairwells and unsecured CO2 tanks during a recent inspection.

Steven Merrill, vice president of operations for the hotel owner, and Sal Texera, the hotel general manager, told the commission the company had active construction and that some detectors were temporarily covered as project crews worked in the Sixth and Seventh floors. Merrill said crews had taped detectors during prep work; when the fire department inspected the site it required switch‑over to heat detectors in some areas and ordered construction halted until issues were addressed.

The inspector’s findings included: smoke detectors taped/covered in a construction area; combustible storage blocking egress paths in a basement/storage area; mattresses and other combustible materials stored in areas that impeded exits; unsecured CO2 tanks in the basement; and standing water/damaged ceiling in the restaurant area. The fire department declined to issue a certificate of inspection because the hazards had not been cleared.

Commissioners told the company they expect immediate corrective action. The company said it would clear storage, schedule a reinspection with the fire department, and pursue corrective measures including removing blocked combustibles and securing gas cylinders. The commission agreed to table the matter for 30 days and return the hotel’s licensing matter to the agenda on March 15 for proof of remediation and any necessary certification.

Why it matters

The commission emphasized that a working fire‑alarm system and safe egress are conditions of alcohol and innholder licenses. Without the fire department’s certificate of inspection the hotel remains at risk of losing alcohol and innholder privileges; the commission said it will consider further enforcement if the fire department does not grant approval after remedial steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Revere City License Commission Meeting- 2/19/25","oneSentenceSummary","Inspectors found construction and fire‑safety violations at 407 Squire Road; the commission placed a cease‑and‑desist on construction, directed the owner to correct issues and scheduled a 30‑day follow‑up.","taxTitle","Revere City, Suffolk County, Massachusetts","taxId",5660,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6322564,"Panel hears noise, fight and late‑service complaints at ‘VV’ restaurant; agrees to monitor with police details",755,2465000,3220000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2347270-e2d6faa700bf5cfbb090972ac423d4a5&start=2465&end=3220","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2347270-e2d6faa700bf5cfbb090972ac423d4a5/thumbnail_2465000.jpg","/articles/6322564/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/Panel-hears-noise-fight-and-lateservice-complaints-at-VV-restaurant-agrees-to-monitor-with-police-details","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6322564-b38c33794591090b0894041d13313ec4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771112498&Signature=YmrDXZyUgueuMv8y7bRhNZmyIALlfEcbJG6DxTkvCDThQR6KsIoZiK1uRN-mxqV8YUeLm~HwaktTl5nLwvueewntm8-Zfnoes0Z6dDbtFRI4CMgG0Ub~vdRNU~UmvTTlj0r6utc3M~TjeDUvq6UnocKo2uDeL8oPIqP3mDWeGoGeHDLE2c5J3G9F~R4JeQfMBsGDyUmoNkEaj0g7etDRLZl-udZU2JP95xxA9ritqonXivP-E1jhbDEKksulxa7I8laePqXOwuAjrnZJiDx3edJ-m-QJlImdjkJ96pq-bBJ3OfxDURexmD7GArQVJN6mslmmUF6oBF-M3z19A44bVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Revere License Commission opened a hearing into repeated complaints about neighborhood disturbances attributed to 21 Revere Beach Boulevard (referred to as VV in the record), including reports of fights and service after 2 a.m.

Demick O’Brien, who identified himself as the on‑site representative, told the commission the restaurant has a licensed entertainment operation through 2 a.m. and that the business experimented with creating a late‑night “lounge” atmosphere. He said problems were most often exterior — patrons leaving after 1:30 a.m. and sometimes clustering outside — and that jurisdictional boundaries between city and state police complicate enforcement in certain spots nearby.

O’Brien described steps the restaurant has taken: hiring private security, switching to security staff with hospitality experience, working with police details on busy nights (noting Friday and Sunday details in particular), and training staff on ID checks and service cutoffs. He said management instructed staff to cut off service and turn lights on by 1:30 a.m. and has used police detail to help disperse crowds.

Commissioners credited improvements when police details were present but stressed that ongoing public complaints require continued oversight. The commission decided to file the matter for now and monitor incidents; it said it would reconvene on the issue and consider further action if future complaints arrive.

Why it matters

Neighborhood residents and members of the commission said the exterior concentration of patrons and late departures have created noise and safety concerns. The commission’s action — to monitor with policing support and to revisit if problems persist — aims to encourage continued cooperation between the business and law enforcement while preserving licensed late‑night service so long as it does not create public‑safety problems.","The commission held a hearing about reports of fights, after‑2 a.m. service and exterior disturbances at VV (21 Revere Beach Boulevard).

Residents told the commission they can hear music inside their homes with windows closed and that patrons sometimes park in residential spaces. Rachel Trahan, who lives at 495 Revere Beach Boulevard, said the noise regularly continues past 2 a.m., that she recorded the sound with windows closed and that it affects sleep and work schedules. John Trahan and other neighbors told the panel the problem is persistent and urged a practical remedy.

Owner‑operator Fernando Loiza acknowledged the complaints and said the building is old and that managing patrons who open a handicap door has been difficult; he said he has bought a sound‑level meter and will work to fix the door and the door alarm. New partner Tony Portillo told the commission he would take a lead role in operations and would contact residents directly to coordinate mitigation steps.

After hearing neighbors, the commission voted to amend Antonio’s entertainment hours and to restrict amplified entertainment. The amended terms (trial period) are:

- Monday–Thursday: 11 a.m.–10 p.m. for amplified entertainment (music by DJs, amplified bands); amplified sound must end at 10 p.m.
- Friday–Saturday: 11 a.m.–12 a.m. (amplified music to cease by midnight)
- Sunday: 11 a.m.–10 p.m. (amplified music to cease by 10 p.m.)

The commission explicitly permitted televisions and radio‑style background audio to continue beyond those times, but limited amplified DJs, live bands and subwoofer‑level bass that residents identified as the main problem. Commissioners said the restriction is a trial; if complaints continue the panel will revisit the license.

Commissioner and council members urged Antonio’s management to install an alarm on the side/handicap door, pursue soundproofing on the wall adjacent to residents and to make a nighttime announcement reminding patrons not to blare car radios when leaving. The restaurant agreed to call in police details and security to clear parking lots and assist with crowd control as needed.

Why it matters

Neighbors said they want to support local businesses but that repeated sleepless nights have diminished their quality of life. The commission framed the amendment as a compromise intended to preserve business hours while protecting residents’ right to sleep.

The commission will monitor complaints and can further restrict or suspend the entertainment license if the problems continue.","Neighbors of Antonio’s at the Beach told the Revere License Commission that loud music and late patrons are disrupting residential life.

The approvals included routine items and a few conditions. Motions to approve came from commissioners on the floor and were seconded; where the commission added conditions it did so by substitute motions discussed on the record.

What the approvals mean

Most approvals were routine and were granted after applicants described operations and hours. For two items the commission added conditions: Boss Hot Dogs’ expanded late‑night hours were limited to Friday and Saturday, and Milas’ all‑alcohol license includes an entertainment cutoff (11:30 p.m.) to address neighborhood concerns.

Commissioners repeatedly told applicants to monitor impacts on neighbors and to return if complaints continue.

Procedural notes and next steps

Most motions passed without roll‑call vote tallies recorded in the transcript; minutes will record formal votes. Applicants with conditions were told how enforcement would work and that the commission would revisit licenses if problems persist.","The Revere License Commission approved multiple license applications and transfers, including entertainment licenses, a change of hours for a hot‑dog restaurant and a one‑day event license. Several approvals included conditions on hours or entertainment.","actionData","errors"]
