The Revere Licensing Commission held an inquiry into security arrangements and neighborhood complaints at Oceanside Events Center (1290 North Shore Road) after multiple reports about noise and disorder as patrons left large events.

Charles Del Pidio (owner/manager) and Taras Rabik (on‑site manager) told the commission they use private security and police details for events and that security staff and signage ask patrons to be quiet when leaving. Commissioners and staff cited repeated complaints from residents at 500 Ocean Avenue about car horns, loud music and people congregating in the parking lot. A resident report submitted to the commission said some neighbors were leaving their buildings because of the disturbance.

The commission urged the venue to develop a written plan addressing egress/parking lot flow, exterior security positions, coordination with Revere police details and neighbor communications (a manager phone number for neighbors was suggested). The venue agreed to submit a plan to commission staff (Maggie) after meeting with Revere PD and the center’s head of security. The chair said the commission would revisit the matter if complaints continued.

Why it matters: Oceanside operates large events that can create substantial late‑night exterior noise and traffic impacts for nearby residents; the commission pressed the licensee to create a practical, documented approach to reduce post‑event disturbance.

No enforcement action was taken at the hearing; commissioners said they will monitor outcomes and expect the venue to file the requested plan.
