BTD has issued a night work permit with no defined end date. I contacted them to point out that this site already operates under a daytime work permit; however, they stated that they will continue working at night, as needed, until morning, without any clear timeline for completion. Could you please provide a copy of this work permit? At this point, the lack of consideration for residents and the absence of any defined limits are concerning. This situation appears to require formal review and enforcement of applicable regulations, rather than relying on the BTD’s discretion.

Category: Restaurant Unsanitary Conditions - Food (Wa Shin Boston 222 Stuart Street) 1. Falsification of Safety Records & Management Failures pH Log Falsification: Staff habitually falsify pH logs for sushi rice and house-made gari. pH levels are never tested with a meter, yet fabricated numbers are written on official logs. Instruction to Violate Code: The Head Chef explicitly instructs trainees to defrost frozen shrimp at room temperature in airtight containers, creating a critical risk for Clostridium botulinum. Unauthorized Activity: Management allows staff to eat, use mobile phones, and vape inside the kitchen prep areas (Daily). 2. Severe Chemical & Cross-Contamination Hazards Chemical Misuse: Bleach bottles are stored directly in food prep sinks daily (every night between 11 PM – 12 PM the next day). Illegal Shell Reuse: Natural shellfish shells are washed and reused for raw service (during oyster season, Nov–April). A bowl of used shells is usually kept next to or inside the refrigerator. Equipment Misuse: Cutting boards used for raw fish are placed on unsanitized surfaces and used while still wet from washing. (Daily) Meat/Veggie Mixing: Raw meat for staff

Hi, we’ve had a jagged sharp sidewalk coming out of a tree root in front of our house where we park our car and sometimes the neighbors kids play in the area. I wanted to remove the sharp sidewalk and put in the rounded safer sidewalks. Multiple cars have popped their tires trying to park. Could this be handled please? Thank you!
