Ms. Steele would like to have them on hand for residents <br /> of Mashpee Village in emergency situations where funds are not available to purchase food. The chicken and <br /> meat will be separated as there are two freezers on the premises. <br /> Glen Harrington commented that the Certified Food Manager and Allergen Awareness Certificates are on file. <br /> This was originally required by the Board in 2014, when Mashpee Village obtained a food pantry license from <br /> the Board of Health to offer fresh fruit and vegetables. An inspection of the freezers by the health agent will be <br /> required prior to the issuance of the amended permit. <br /> Brian Baumgaertel made a motion that the Board of Health approve the 2016 Food Pantry license for Mashpee <br /> Village pending the health agent's inspection. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was <br /> unanimously approved. <br /> 7:20 PM —Show Cause Hearing — Housing Code Violations --701 Great Neck Road South. <br /> Glen Harrington stated that on May 2, 2016, a sanitary code inspection was performed at the request of the <br /> tenant at 701 Great Neck. Road South. An order letter was sent to notify the owners, and timeframes were <br /> issued to correct the documented violations. The order letter was received by the owners (or representative) on <br /> May 6, 2016. On June 6, 2016, a re-inspection was performed and ten of the violations were corrected. <br /> However, five of the violations were not rectified. One of the violations was a Section 750 or a violation that is <br /> considered to impair the health, safety, and well-being of the occupants which is required to be corrected within <br /> 48 hours (no carbon monoxide detectors). All of the violations were documented as being repaired on October <br /> 19, 2016. The Section 750 violation was not repaired for 140 days. The remaining four violations were not <br /> corrected for 116 days. <br /> On May 9, 2016, Attorney Mark Gildea notified the Board of Health that an eviction was in process with the <br /> tenant. The eviction does not exempt the owner from completing the repair of the violations. Denial of access <br /> issues was not reported to the Board of Health. If there were, the Board of Health staff would have cited the <br /> tenant for failing to allow the repairs to be made. Attorney Gildea mentioned to Mr. Harrington that an <br /> insurance company was involved which may have delayed the repairs. After the first tenant was evicted, new <br /> tenants moved in so the owners were still accepting revenue from the new tenants while there were violations, <br /> t <br />
