Summary
The commission revoked one license for administrative noncompliance and continued multiple enforcement hearings to Nov. 13, 2025, while directing staff to notify a venue about promoter‑license rules.
The Lowell License Commission voted on enforcement items and scheduling at its Oct. 30 meeting.
The commission revoked the all‑alcohol restaurant license for Lehi Jefe Taco Bar, 203 Cabot St., after finding the licensee did not complete the 2025 annual renewal process required under Massachusetts law, failed to pass mandatory fire and building inspections, and failed to pay required annual fees. The transcript notes the licensee had stopped operating in the city and had terminated its lease. A motion to revoke passed on a commissioner motion and a second; commissioners voted in favor.
Two communications alleging misconduct by Blue Shamrock Inc., 105 Market St. (Nicholas Petracas, licensed manager) were before the commission (incident dates referenced 09/05/2025 and 09/27/2025). Counsel for Blue Shamrock informed the commission on Oct. 30 that the licensee had retained counsel who was unavailable for the hearing; the commission continued the matter to Nov. 13, 2025, at counsel’s request.
Separately, the commission received a communication from Lowell Police Superintendent Gregory Hooten concerning promoter events at Tesco (70–72 Middlesex St.) and directed staff to notify the licensee of promoter‑license requirements. The action was handled as an administrative notification rather than a formal hearing.
Continuances and revocations were recorded in motions on the record; the commission scheduled follow‑up actions (notice, hearings) to be completed before Nov. 13.
