BOS:311

Hi, I wanted to report a pretty unpleasant experience we had at Esperia Grill at 344 Washington Street in Brighton. We stopped by around 7 PM and were pretty shocked by what we saw. The place looked dirty, the employees didn’t look very clean, and we noticed people handling food without gloves or anything covering their hair. There were utensils sitting in dirty-looking trays and food just sitting out. The worst part was seeing mice running around and what looked like mouse droppings. It was honestly disgusting. We didn’t even stay to eat. After seeing all of that, we felt uncomfortable and decided to leave immediately without ordering anything. I’m not usually one to complain, but this was bad enough that I felt someone should know about it. I really hope someone can stop by and check on the place before someone gets sick. Thanks for your time.

I am reporting an ongoing parking and traffic enforcement issue on Beverly Street that recently prevented an ambulance from getting through the street to respond to an emergency at the building across from my apartment. Vehicles are parked abandoned in a way that obstructs one side of the street, while other vehicles are double-parked on the opposite side, leaving insufficient room for the ambulance to pass. I listened to the ambulance beep, honk, and sound its siren for at least 2–3 minutes as it attempted to get through. This is an extremely serious public safety concern. The parking issues on this street have been reported multiple times, yet the problem continues without meaningful intervention. God forbid someone in my building or my own apartment needs emergency medical assistance and an ambulance cannot reach them because of illegally parked and double-parked vehicles. This is no longer simply an inconvenience or a parking complaint. It is a matter of emergency access and public safety, and I am asking the city to take this issue seriously and implement meaningful enforcement before someone is seriously hurt or loses their life because emergency responders cannot get through.
