After serious accident at Hyde Park auto shop, building cited for ‘severe' violations

BOSTON — After a man was seriously injured in an accident at an auto repair shop Thursday, Boston Inspectional Services issued a number of violations to the owner of the building on Friday.

A man was reportedly hit by a car in the auto repair shop Thursday and inspectors say the building’s owner couldn’t provide a permit to run the auto repair shop.

The person who was hit by the car was rushed to the hospital and remained in critical condition Friday morning.

The building where the incident occurred contains the auto repair shop, a tavern and some residences.

Little Haiti International Cuisine had its permit suspended Friday morning because of an “imminent Health Hazard.”

According to inspectional services, the building contained insects, rodents and their droppings, in addition to swage and wastewater in the basement. The restaurant will not be allowed to operate until the health hazards have been removed and proof of remedy has been provided.

Meanwhile, the owner of the building, The Disangro Family Trust, has been issued violations for not having a permit to operate its businesses. The owners also did not have a permit to break a hole in the basement’s fire separation wall.

The building was also deemed unsafe by inspectors as the basement was flooded with waste water and sewage, and the building’s retaining wall was determined to be failing.

The auto body shop was also cited for illegally parking cars along the street while they are being worked on.
