    Boston, Massachusetts - William Trahant, the owner of William Trahant Jr. Construction Inc. based in Lynn, has had his construction supervisor's license revoked for a minimum of two years after the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards took action for repeated safety violations and failure to comply with financial penalties.


    Key Points

    • The U.S. Department of Labor filed a complaint leading to this decision, citing seven separate citations issued to Trahant's company since 2014 for violating federal fall safety regulations.
    • Trahant has also failed to pay more than $300,000 in penalties associated with these violations.
    • The decision was made following a hearing on Nov. 17, 2023, where evidence was presented by the department's Regional Solicitor’s Office and OSHA in Boston.
    • Trahant is ordered to return his license and halt work on any active building permits he holds until a successor is assigned or he regains his license.
    • Trahant held hundreds of building permits across five communities in Massachusetts from 2020 to 2022.
