LYNN – Raffi’s Place at 408-410 Summer St., and Champion at 170 Broad St., were both spanked with separate suspensions for violating rules and regulations by the Lynn Licensing Board Tuesday.A 14-day suspension was handed to Raffi’s beginning Sept. 8 for failing to register surveillance equipment with the board, along with a warning for 3-day suspension regarding illegal posters if further violations occur, while Champion was slapped with a 21-day suspension beginning Sept. 8 for a third offense of serving alcohol to a minor and an immediate rollback of hours to 12 a.m.A regular fixture at Licensing Board meetings because of numerous past incidents requiring police attention, Rafael Guzman, owner of Raffi’s, repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and blamed the negative attention on “haters” trying to destroy his business.Unconvinced, Board chairman Richard Coppinger questioned Guzman as to why he failed to register his surveillance equipment with the board, why there were several illegal posters advertising entertainment at the eatery on Summer Street, and a prior incident reported by a customer that claimed he was assaulted.”We have to hand down progressive discipline for not abiding by the rules,” he said. “This is a he said, she said situation now and we are coming to a crossroads.”Guzman, however, repeatedly stressed that his employees were unaware of any assault that took place at his business, and said his surveillance tape had not been saved from that night because he didn’t have knowledge to do so.”I don’t know this person, this is all bogus and false, and I’m not hiding anything,” he said. “I also don’t have any knowledge of the posters and I don’t know why someone would put them up.”Lynn Police officer Eric Whyte offered a different story in a report, which board members had hoped to question him on, but he was not able to attend Tuesday’s meeting.Aside from prior issues, group of irritated abutters of Raffi’s detailed horrors of loud club goers urinating on their lawns, parking in front of their driveways and keeping them up at night – begging the board to take action against the seemingly out of control bar.Backing up the neighbor’s claims, Ward 6 City Councilor Peter Capano said he has received numerous complaints regarding Raffi’s and requested the board seriously consider shutting the infamous pub down.”I don’t think a nightclub belongs in a neighborhood,” he said. “The neighbors aren’t happy, people relieve themselves on lawns and I think the maximum penalty should be given to Raffi’s by the board.”In response, the board suggested Guzman host a public meeting for neighbors to voice frustrations about his business with Capano and report back with updates on what he plans to do to control his customers.In addition to Guzman’s latest woes, a previous 10-day suspension for an overcrowding incident that was appealed was ordered upheld by the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) earlier this month, while a ruling for a second 10-day suspension appeal before the ABCC for another overcrowding incident in May has not been decided yet.Liang Bo Li, owner of Champion stood before the board to face charges of lack of management and control, the change of a manager without board consent, prior history, selling alcohol to a minor under 21 years old, and a third offense for serving to a minor.Li told the board he is currently trying to sell the business and admitted to past mistakes involving the sale of alcohol to a minor.Coppinger said Li has served three prior seven-day suspensions and one three-day suspension for various violations since 2007.Despite the number of past incidents, the board voted to allow Li to keep his license and not revoke it, and imposed an immediate rollback of hours to 12 a.m. with last call at 11:30 p.m.
