Lolita

271 Dartmouth St, Boston 02116

Decadent Back Bay Party Spot Lolita Reawakens

After Two Years With a $2.75 Million Makeover. The restaurant underwent a major overhaul that includes a 60 to 85-seat dining room expansion and a swanky new bar devoted to mezcal. The taco-laden menu is the same, as is the overall layout of the space. But COJE, the vibey restaurant group behind Lolita and other hits including speakeasy-style bar Yvonne’s, poured money into redesign.

Charlestown’s latest restaurant is a product of the pandemic. Johnny Pomodoro, an Italian counter-service spot that started as a pandemic takeout idea from fine dining alum Johnny Burke, is now open at 297 Main Street, at Sullivan Street, on a sunny corner spot in the neighborhood. Detroit-style pizzas — identified by their rectangular shape, thick, spongy dough, and sauce splattered on after toppings — are a big draw here.

Stillwater

120 Kingston St, Boston 02111 SRV

Stillwater is a restaurant that serves comfort food with a twist -- it’s a lively space filled with fancified classics and fresh cocktails. At the helm of the kitchen is local gourmet junk food expert and Food Network’s Chopped Gold Medal Games Champion Chef Sarah Wade! Stillwater is a neighborhood spot, where guests are encouraged to kick back and tickle their taste buds with Chef Sarah’s seasonal picks paired with creative cocktails.

Preventive maintenance is the regular inspection and repair of equipment and facilities to prevent extensive, costly damage from occurring over time. Preventive maintenance can go a long way toward reducing the overall cost of your condominiums, as large expenditures for repairs and replacements can often be avoided by a careful attention to detail. Following a thorough condominium preventive maintenance checklist can help you to increase the attractiveness of your property.

Landscaping

Landscaping not only adds value, but can increase the enjoyment of your home. Whether it be in the common or private areas of your association, picking the right plantings and materials is important to maximize enjoyment for all.

Building Overview

Now is a great time to make your front entrance welcoming. Whether it is a fresh coat of paint or a new set of planters, it’s the small inexpensive things that can make a world of difference. Don’t forget to review your vendors from last year. Were you happy with the snow removal, leak repairs, heating, management company responsiveness, etc.? If not, make a couple of calls to see who else might better fit your needs.

Inspections

Perform regular inspections on all equipment and facilities that are subject to damage or normal wear and tear. Inspect such things as roofs, insulation, ventilation systems and appliances to ensure that they are operating safely and efficiently.

Cleaning

Stick to a regular cleaning schedule for fixtures such as air ducts and exterior siding to ensure that dirt, mildew and other buildup does not cause any damage. Clean and replace filters in heating and air conditioning units, as well as appliances such as washing machines and dryers, to prevent fire damage. New or cleaned filters also help to keep electricity costs down, as the appliances can operate more efficiently with an unrestricted flow of air.

Pest Control

Bring pest control specialists into your condominiums at least once per year. Common pests can increase their populations rapidly and can quickly infest an entire property, causing extensive damage to interiors and electrical infrastructure. Act proactively to ensure that pests do not gain a foothold in your properties, and respond quickly to any pest complaints.

Testing

Test emergency equipment such as sprinkler systems, smoke alarms and fire extinguishers to ensure that they remain in working order. Properly maintained safety equipment can prevent a small mishap from becoming a major disaster. Fire escapes need to be certified every 5 years per the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Elevators need state inspections on a scheduled basis.

Sealants

Reapply all sealants before a problem occurs. Sealants on steps, decks, bricks, exterior paint and window caulking can corrode over time, exposing your property to the risk of internal damage. Keeping on top of these items not only helps to keep your structure strong, it can also cut down on energy, assessments, and repair bills in the future.
