Lisbon's nightlife and restaurant scene under scrutiny as the Public Security Police (PSP) conducted inspections across seven establishments, resulting in 13 notifications. Among the findings was an illegal trapdoor leading to an unauthorized storage area in one snack-bar.
Key Findings from the Inspections
- One establishment was cited for operating without a license.
- Three venues had issues with fire extinguishers, either missing or improperly installed.
- One location lacked a complaints book, a legal requirement in Portugal.
- Three businesses failed to issue receipts, a violation of tax regulations.
- Four notifications were issued for missing documentation.
The Illegal Trapdoor Discovery
In a startling discovery, a snack-bar in Olivais was found to have an illegal trapdoor leading to a storage area dug into the building's foundation. This unauthorized modification was used as a makeshift dormitory, highlighting serious safety and regulatory breaches.
The operation, a collaboration between PSP, Lisbon Municipal Police, Tax Authority, and the General Inspection of Cultural Activities, underscores the ongoing efforts to ensure compliance and safety in Lisbon's bustling nightlife and dining sectors.
