John William Masonry BRS LLC works out of 236 Lincoln Street in Blackstone, Massachusetts, and its Better Business Bureau profile names John Lippolis as owner and lists the company under mason contractors and concrete restoration. That same profile carries licence number 197023 for the company. Check the number and its current standing on the Massachusetts register before you sign anything. The thing to put on the table early: federal OSHA's inspection database carries inspection 1482471.015 for the company at 10 Charlesgate East in Boston, opened as a complaint inspection, with violations and penalties classified as Serious and Willful. The company's name also appears in federal Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission listings for Boston. Ask what those citations covered, how they were resolved, and what the crew does differently on site now. For masonry or concrete restoration work around Blackstone, go in with those questions ready: the licence checked against the state register, a current certificate of insurance, recent references on comparable jobs, and the safety history explained in person.
