Owner of 300 Front Street cited after city finds unlicensed contractors hired for restaurant repairs

City code‑enforcement told the hearing they observed two individuals unloading lumber at 300 Front Street and later obtained documentation that the landlord coordinated the work. Alma Montana said the workers identified themselves as hired by the restaurant owner and that the owner later provided emails indicating the landlord arranged the work.

Montana said the workers produced foreign identification and that the city has body‑worn camera footage of the individuals at the property saying they had been hired. She recommended the case proceed against the property owner for hiring unlicensed contractors; the city has issued an irreparable notice of code violation and scheduled an administrative hearing.

The magistrate confirmed certified service of the notice and allowed the owner’s representative to seek to provide documentation; the city maintained the case will be prosecuted against the owner unless appropriate documentation is supplied.
