SOUTHINGTON — The deputy fire marshal said Tuesday that all fire and electrical code violations have been addressed at Machiavelli’s Italian Restaurant following last weekend’s raid.

Deputy Fire Marshal Hal Ballard, who was on the scene for the raid early Saturday morning, inspected the 75 Center St. restaurant again on Monday. He said the emergency lights and electrical problems were fixed. The back door, which on Saturday was dead-bolted and padlocked in violation of the fire code, was functioning as an exit again, he said.

He set new occupancy limits for the building: 150 for the bar area, 35 for the banquet room and 40 for the restaurant area, which closes at 11 p.m.

“He has worked with us. He did everything we asked him to do,” Ballard said of owner Spendi Bomova.

The area of Center Street around Machiavelli’s has been attracting large crowds at the end of the night that at times have become “violent and confrontational,” according to a police statement about the Saturday raid.
