Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 19:08, compliant hotel and motel operators in Mattapoisett coordinate annual inspections with three separate authorities — the Board of Health, the Building Inspector, and the Fire Chief — before a license is issued or renewed. Operators generally ensure their properties meet the standards set out in 105 CMR 410.000 and other applicable regulations ahead of each inspection cycle. Maintaining records of prior inspections and addressing any noted deficiencies in a timely manner is a common practice among operators seeking smooth license renewals under Section 4.
