Overview
- The Boston Licensing Board on Thursday found no liquor-license violations and voted to let ICON reopen with its entertainment license restored.
- Officials said video and timestamped call records showed emergency services were contacted within two minutes, with CPR performed before first responders arrived.
- ICON must submit a detailed emergency management plan covering emergency notification, crowd control and dispersal, plus procedures for music and lighting during emergencies.
- Family members maintain staff reacted too slowly and allowed music to continue, while the club says its team responded quickly and professionally.
- Police reported the crowd initially hindered responders, though the board said the evidence did not demonstrate a delay; staff testified the patron had one drink and did not appear intoxicated.
