Board presses Bombay Kitchen owner to comply with cease-and-desist; air-quality report overdue

The board accepted the Building Department report for August/September 2025 and discussed ongoing violations at Bombay Kitchen, 85 Channel Drive. Superintendent Robert Barbach reported on a Cease-and-Desist Order issued to owner Sanjiv Mody on Aug. 12, 2025; Mr. Mody appeared with legal and technical representatives, and the board and owner agreed to a timeline of required submissions.

Michael Sahn, of Sahn Ward Braff & Coschignano, acknowledged a misunderstanding on the required air-quality report date and stated the report "would be available for review at the earliest time possible." The board noted that an industrial hygienist might need to be retained to provide data and that submission of building permits and CaptiveAire system drawings was expected by the end of the week. The board described this as an ongoing compliance process; no new enforcement vote was recorded during the meeting.
