The town said in court papers that Krasinski was notified in March that The Farmhouse was not in compliance with the state fire code for an educational facility, as he has described the property. But he had failed as of Oct. 24 to address the public safety issues resulting from his failure to address the safety code violations.
“The continued non-compliance by the Defendants with the Cease and Desist Orders … constitutes a violation of law and presents a risk to the public health, safety and general welfare and to any present and future occupants of this property,” the town wrote.
According to court records, Krasinski and a person from The Boost Experience appeared at Plymouth Town Hall on Oct. 24 after he was ordered immediately to halt the event. Officials said Krasinski allowed the event to continue, leading the town to ask for the temporary injunction in court, records show.
The court order remains in effect Thursday and allows the town to fine him every day he remains in non-compliance, forbids any new events unless permitted by the town, and requires him to bring the property into compliance with the fire code, records show.
In September, Krasinski settled a lawsuit against several women he had alleged were defaming him. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
