Southborough inspectors plan cease-and-desist for unlicensed bodyworks business at 7 Pike Road
Summary
Inspectors told the Board of Health they visited a massage/bodyworks operation at 7 Pike Road after certified-mail notice about new licensing rules; the operator has not submitted an application and staff will work with Town counsel to draft a cease-and-desist order.
Chris, a board inspector, reported on May 5 that inspectors performed a site visit to a massage/bodyworks business at 7 Pike Road after the board's new bodyworks regulations were mailed by certified letter. The inspector said staff informed the operator on site about licensing requirements and provided the regulation and application materials.
Shortly after the visit, someone representing the operator called to say they intended to comply, but no application had been filed more than a month later. "It's been over a month now and they haven't submitted their application," Chris said, and staff recommended drafting a cease-and-desist and working with Town counsel to enforce licensing requirements.
Board members agreed the next step was for staff to engage with counsel to prepare enforcement paperwork. The board discussed whether to make a formal motion; members agreed that staff should proceed and that a motion was not necessary.
What happens next: staff will work with Town counsel on a cease-and-desist and next enforcement steps if the operator does not apply for the required license. The transcript records no formal vote on enforcement at this meeting.
