A platform is required. -East side e�erior door light fi�ure is broken. -Electrical outlet behind cooler was arching--temporarily repaired by tenant--an electrician is required to address -Extensive roof leak--water is dripping onto seating booths(5 gallon bucket was in place to catch water)-- -water has migrated through the dry wall ceiling and onto the floor. A tarp has been placed on the roof area. The gypsum ceiling shall be removed to determine the extent of damage and mold mitigation -The plywood floor underlayment in the restaurant area has buckled--I suspect as a result of the water and dampness. -The septic system covers located in the rear parking lot have failed. -Extensive cleaning of the building is necessary, inGuding the basement. -Gas leaks(refer to Plumbing &Gas Inspector, Lee Hall's report) Finally, it is my opinion that extensive repairs and cleaning are necessary before a license to operate and serve liquor will be issued.

This property has been an ongoing problem for the last few years, our specific areas of concern was the quarterly cleaning of the hood system, freezing and breaking of the fire sprinkler system and the lack of maintaining the fire alarm system. The fire alarm system must be monitored due to the sprinkler system. I � Past violations of fire extinguishers not current, using a counterteit hood cleaner label, bedrooms in the irestaurant, fire department sprinkler connection blocked by hedge, blocked exits, excessive cooking � grease on roof, emergency lights and exits out, general housekeeping, and on one inspection found a ' leaking gas line. i The building has some structural issues with the dining room floor and on the last inspection did not have working heat. i Anyone wishing to move into this building will have to have the sprinkler system inspected and tested and be 100%correct before occupancy, fire alarm system will also need to be 100% correct and continuously ' monitored. Cooking hood system(s)will need to be cleaned and inspected for compliance and all ! structural and heating systems must be repaired.

The China Inn had also failed their inspections/re-inspections for the renewal of the Certificate of Inspection which needs to be issued with the Liquor License. On Friday, December 28, 2012 I received a letter from the China Inn informing the Board that they are closing their business and surrendering their Liquor License. There are other violations which will need to be addressed by the owner of the building prior to any other business opening at this location (981 Route 28, South Yarmouth). This information will be included in the BOS packet for Tuesday, January 8, 2013. No action is required of the Board at this time. I will notify the ABCC in writing of the license being surrendered.

It is possible the gas odor is coming from next door. Last year or the year before I called in a gas leak and found it to be the boiler in the basement. Lee and I both metered the entire gas line and got nothing. Last year we had a persistent leak behind the connivence store just down the � road, when the leak was finally found by the gas company it was found to be the main line . for the street that followed an old drain pipe to the surface about 100 plus feet away. . If Lee is working Monday maybe he should call the gas company to have them investigate in � the area. I don't think its an immediate hazard as it was intermittent. � On another note, one of our Lt. 's responded to Anthony's for a fire alarm, they searched the place and saw water leaking through the enclosed, large porch area and found the floor to be spongy in places, he actually thinks the carpet is what kept his foot from going through the floor. WHEN Michael contacts me we should return as a team and take a closer look at this floor. I asked for documentation and a plan of action, sent the same letter as last year which he never did. I have yet to hear from him. I will see you all on Wednesday, Jon From: Brandolini, Jim Sent: Friday, December 21, 2012 11:30 PM To: Sawyer, John; Renaud, Philip; Armstrong, James; Arnault, Andrew; Hall, Lee; Elliott, 1 Ken Cc: Walker, Michael; Simonian, Phillip; Murphy, Bruce; Grylls, Mark; Elliott, Ken; 'JAMES BRANDOLINI' ; Hinchey, William Subject: RE: Update Request China Inn John & Lee Hall: I have been thinking today that in light of the gas order inside and outside the restaurant, Lee, it may be prudent to notify the Gas Company o£ the potential danger. You could suggest the meter be removed until such time as the owner or tenant hire a licensed gas installer to definitely and locate the leak source and repair same. Upon satisfactory completion of the repairs, and appropriate inspections performed by you, the gas meter may be re-installed. I have noted several items including egress corrections, a significant roof leak which migrates through a roof vent; that then drips/discharges onto booth seating, buckled floor areas which were apparently caused by water infiltration. Some buckled arrears are 9 inches high and run 6-8 feet. I have given the applicant to February 15, 2013 to correct this floor issue. All other violations shall be corrected by December 31, 2012 Finally, it is my professional opinion that the sanitary conditions are poor, at best. In addition for what ever reason it appears the building does not have a source of heat, other than two electric space heaters. Because of their potential fire damager, we ordered them removed. While walking the rear parking lot I observed two partially collapsed septic tank or grease tank covers. One cover tips when walked on. These conditions cause a danger to vehicles and pedestrians, in my opinion. The Health Dept. was advised for follow action. Finally, I believe it is imperative a regulatory team effort take all measure necessary to attain complete abatement to ensure a safe and clean environment. Jim From: Sawyer, John Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2012 6:12 PM To: Renaud, Philip; Armstrong, James; Arnault, Andrew; Brandolini, Jim; Aall, Lee; Elliott, Ken Cc: Walker, Michael; Simonian, Phillip; Murphy, Bruce; Grylls, Mark Subject: Update Request Hello All, Checking on any possible updates on Yarmouth House, China Inn or Anthony's? 1. I sent a certified letter to the Yarmouth House. 2. I have been back to the China Inn multiple times, each time we find more things wrong. The last time I was there I saw raw beef in the boiler that was not on, chicken wings partially cooked on the counter and dirty laundry hanging on the back line. The septic lids were sinking into the parking lot and one moved if you stood on it. Today Lee and company could not find a gas leak but we kept smelling it, frustrating. The night before when Jim and I went there Jim had him remove two electric baseboard portable heat units and the screen over the rear exit door was back from last year (wrote it up last year as blocking the� exit) . When we first walked in they told me the hood man had just left and the hood was all clean. I sure could tell it was clean because as they were cooking I looked up to find all of the filters were missinq. They were quickly located and installed at my insistence. Jim almost electrocuted himself when he touched duct tape over an outlet. 3. I have not heard anything from Michael at Anthony's, that by far was the nastiest place I have been in a while.

It is possible the gas odor is coming from next door. Last year or the year before I called in a gas leak and � found it to be the boiler in the basement. Lee and I both metered the entire gas iine and �. got nothing. Last year we had a persistent leak behind the connivence store just down the road, when the leak was finally found by the gas company it was found to be the main line for the street that followed an old drain pipe to the surface about 100 plus feet away. I€ Lee is working Monday maybe he shou3d cai3 the gas company to have them investigate in the area. I don't think its an immediate hazard as it was intermittent. On another note, one oE our Lt. 's responded to Anthony's for a fire alarm, they searched the piace and saw water ieaking through the enclosed, large porch area and found the fioor to be spongy in places, he actually thinks the carpet is what kept his foot from going through the floor. WHEN Michael contacts me we should return as a team and take a closer look at this floor. I asked for documentation and a plan of action, sent the same letter as last year which he never did. I have yet to hear from him.

You could suggest the meter be removed until such time as the owner or tenant hire a licensed gas installer to definitely and locate the leak source and repair same. Upon satisfactory completion of the repairs, and appropriate inspections performed by you, the gas meter may be re-installed. I have noted several items including egress corrections, a significant roof leak which 1 . migrates through a roof vent; that then drips/discharges onto booth seating, buckled fioor areas which were apparently caused by water infiltration. Some buckled arrears are 4 inches high and run 6-8 feet. I have given the applicant to February 15, 2013 to correct this floor issue. All other violations shall be corrected by December 31, 2012 Finally, it is my professional opinion that the sanitary conditions are poor, at best. In addition for what ever reason it appears the building does not have a source of heat, other than two electric space heaters. Because of their potential fire damager, we ordered them removed. While walking the rear parking lot I observed two partially collapsed septic tank or grease tank covers. One cover tips when walked on. These conditions cause a danger to vehicles and pedestrians, in my opinion. The Health Dept. was advised Por follow action. Finally, I believe it is imperative a regulatory team effort take all measure necessary to attain complete abatement to ensure a safe and clean environment.

I sent a certified ietter to the Yarmouth House. 2. I have been back to the China Inn multiple times, each time we find more things wrong. The last time I was there I saw raw beef in the boiler that was not on, chicken wings partially cooked on the counter and dirty laundry hanging on the back line. The septic lids were sinking into the parking lot and one moved if you stood on it. Today Lee and company could not find a gas leak but we kept smelling it, Erustrating. The night before when Jim and I went there Jim had him remove two electric baseboard portable heat units and the screen over the rear exit door was back from last year (wrote it up last year as blocking the exit) . When we first walked in they told me the hood man had just left and the hood was all clean. I sure could teii it was clean because as they were cooking I looked up to find a11 of the filters were missing. They were quickly located and installed at my insistence. Jim almost electrocuted himself when he touched duct tape over an outlet. 3. I have not heard anything from Michael at Anthony's, that by far was the nastiest piace I have been in a while.
