Councilors press code enforcement over Dempsey's storefront and send certified letter on late or undelivered mail
Summary
Councilors referred the longstanding complaint about Dempsey's unsightly storefront to the mayor and code enforcement and voted to send a certified letter to the Boston Postmaster General after multiple reports of late or undelivered mail in Everett.
Two community-focused new-business items drew council attention. Councilor Wayne Matuski urged enforcement action against Dempsey's restaurant in Everett Square, pressing the mayor's office and code enforcement to require painting and exterior repairs after years of reported neglect. "This is the heart of Everett Square... this could not go on anywhere else," Matuski said, explaining residents had reported chipping paint and an unkempt exterior despite prior code contacts.
Separately, Councilor Matuski led a discussion on widespread complaints about delayed or undelivered mail in Everett, recounting a prior episode where a large run of mail was returned as "undeliverable." He asked the clerk to send a certified letter to the Boston Postmaster General recording the council's concerns; Councilor Matuski also plans to raise the matter in a scheduled October 2 meeting with the regional postmaster. The council voted to refer both items for administrative follow-up and communications with the postal service.
