Description
Two pressing issues: first, the National Tire and Battery on Mass Ave has been storing customer vehicles in the rear employee parking lot. This means constant coming and going and moving of vehicles all day and evening. On Monday, 14 vehicles were parked in an area intended for approximately 6 employee vehicles. Today, a customer vehicle is parked blocking the sidewalk. The second pressing issue is that the rear fire door, which according to a 2012 Cambridge License Commission hearing is to remain closed, is propped open with a cigarette disposal unit the majority of the time. The noise that emenates from the open door is well beyond the allowed decibel and distance, and can easily be contained by keeping the door closed. It is important for the neighbors (including local daycare providers who use the neighboring playground on a daily basis) that these issues are resolved to minimize noise and environmental pollution.

I have reviewed the Cambridge License Commission file, specifically the 2012 hearing minutes, and it is noted that the owner of NTB would keep the front bay doors closed whenever possible. There was no information regarding the back fire door. With that said, I will talk to the owner and request that he speak to the employees to keep the door closed if not in use. The License Commission did not stipulate how many vehicles may be parked in the back lot for employees. NTB has a garage license for 4 spaces located in the front of the building. Regarding vehicles being parked on the sidewalk I will contact the Traffic and Parking Department and bring it to their attention. Please email me at aboyer@cambridgema.gov if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you, Andrea Boyer
