Dear Sir or Madam:
As a result of the tragic nightclub fire in Warwick, Rhode Island, the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts enacted Chapter 304 of the Acts of 2004, An Act Relative to Fire Safety in the
Commonwealth.
Section 5 of this new law added Massachusetts General Law c. 148, s. 26G 1/2 which
requires every building or portion thereof of public assembly with a capacity of 100 persons or
more that is designed or used for occupancy as a nightclub, dance hall, discotheque, bar or
for similar entertainment purposes to be equipped with an adequate system of automatic
sprinklers.
Upon review it has been determined that the above-referenced establishment falls under the
provisions of this new law. You are hereby ordered to comply with the provisions of the
statute in accordance with the following schedule:
1. Plans and specifications for an adequate sprinkler system as required by statute shall
be submitted to this office with a copy to the Building Inspector no later than May 15,
2006.
2. The sprinkler system must be completed no later than November 15, 2007.
You are strongly urged to take appropriate action at this time in order to meet the compliance
deadline of the new law. Under the provisions of M.G.L. c. 148, s. 26G %2, you have the right
to appeal this order to the Commonwealth's Automatic Sprinkler Appeals Board, P.O. Box
1025, State Road, Stow, MA 01775 within 45 days after service of this letter. If you have
any questions, please contact me.
So Ordered

RE: McCarthy Properties, Inc.
287 Pleasant Street
Dear Chief Duggan:
Enclosed you will find several documents pertaining to the 287 Pleasant Street location, known
as the Ye Olde Watering Hole. I represent the building owner, McCarthy Properties, Inc.,
landlord for Ye Olde Watering Hole, as their property manager and authorized agent.
Thomas Douglas Architects was hired to inspect the location and did confirm a capacity over
100 occupants. Since both the landlord and the tenant, Ye Olde Watering Hole, feel the order to
sprinkler the building would cause financial hardship to both parties, Thomas Douglas was asked
to create a plan limiting the capacity to less than 100 occupants. That plan is enclosed.
As both the landlord and the tenant agree the new plan suits the needs of both parties, a building
permit was obtained to begin altering the space in accordance with the plan.
I respectfully request that you review the enclosed materials and ask that you consider rescinding
your order that the landlord install a sprinkler system throughout the building, subject to the
completion of the permitted renovations.
As you suggested to our attorney Mark Tanner, we would like to meet with you and Mr. Patillo
at your convenience. Please contact me at 582-9070, extension 102,to arrange a time to meet.
