John Krasinski’s brother sued by Massachusetts town over ‘health and safety hazards’ at his nonprofit
Actor John Krasinski’s brother is again facing heat from a South Shore community over “health and safety hazards” at his nonprofit.
The Town of Plymouth has sued Paul Krasinski, issuing a cease and desist order for his nonprofit due to “numerous safety concerns and multiple violations” of local laws and regulations.
Paul Krasinski, who runs The Farmhouse in Plymouth, had been in hot water earlier this year when the town ordered him to stop operations due to building code violations. Now, the Town of Plymouth has filed a lawsuit against Paul Krasinski and again issued a cease and desist order due to a planned event at his property.
“The ongoing violations of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Fire Safety Code present potential health and safety hazards to the occupants of the Property, abutters and the general public,” the town’s attorney wrote in the lawsuit against Paul Krasinski in Plymouth Superior Court.
Town officials issued a cease and desist order to Krasinski ahead of a scheduled event last week called, “The Boost Experience at The Farmhouse.”
The property was in violation of fire safety and building codes. Krasinski also did not get a required one-day liquor license for the event, and he failed to obtain a temporary food permit for each vendor.
“… The Event creates numerous, serious violations and public safety concerns, and the Town hereby demands that the scheduled Event, ‘The Boost Experience at The Farmhouse’ not occur due to numerous safety concerns and multiple violations of the liquor licensing, building and zoning concerns, the Town of Plymouth Public Health regulations and Chapter 10 of the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code,” the town wrote in the cease and desist order.
The Plymouth Independent first reported the lawsuit and cease and desist order.
After the town filed the lawsuit and order, a Superior Court judge issued a preliminary injunction in favor of the Plymouth Fire Department.
“It is ordered and adjudged that Defendants(s) 296 Center Hill Road, LLC, Paul Krasinski and their various attorneys and agents… A) Immediately comply with the order to Cease and Desist; B) Immediately cease the hosting of any and all future unpermitted events at the property; C) Issue fines for each day of noncompliance with the Town’s orders; and D) Grant other such relief as justice and equity require, and this Court deems proper,” the judge ruled.
Krasinski did not immediately respond to comment on Tuesday.
The actor’s brother earlier this year sued eight women for an alleged “highly coordinated” defamation campaign to “destroy” him. He later dropped his lawsuit after a settlement was reportedly reached.
