Board approves lodging house renewals despite late filings; inspectors may be notified
Summary
The Licensing Board approved renewals for Brookfield Realty (80 Stillsbury Street) and the Hilton/’Holden’ Hotel (3 Light Street), while noting renewals were late and asking inspection services to check compliance; fines of $100–$500 for operating without a license were cited.
The board approved renewal of two lodging/rooming house licenses: Brookfield Realty at 80 Stillsbury Street and the Hilton (record also references a 'Holden' Hotel) at 3 Light Street, with Jeff Conte identified as owner. A commissioner observed the renewals were due earlier (renewable Jan. 1) and that some establishments had operated unlicensed for months; board members discussed notifying Inspection Services Division (ISD) so it can take enforcement if necessary.
Board members noted that operating without a license is punishable by a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $500. Staff said they would coordinate with ISD to confirm inspections and any outstanding renewal paperwork. After discussion, a motion was made and seconded to approve both lodging house licenses; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Board staff will follow up with ISD to ensure that any establishments operating without a current license are brought into compliance and that inspections are completed before continued operation into the next licensing period.
