Paul Krasinski ordered to stop hosting events at Plymouth property until he complies with safety codes

Paul Krasinski, the brother of actor John Krasinski, has been ordered to temporarily stop hosting events at his property in Plymouth until he brings the building and grounds into compliance with fire safety codes, records show.

At the request of town officials, including the Fire Department, Plymouth Superior Court Judge Brian Glenny last week issued a temporary injunction that barred Krasinski from hosting events of any sort at the 10-acre property he calls The Farmhouse, court records show.

Krasinski did not immediately return a phone message left on his cell phone Thursday.

The town sought the temporary injunction Oct. 24, the day that Krasinski held an an event at The Farmhouse that would include “beer, wine and custom cocktails” while guests browsed “the Newest Branded Merchandise” provided by a company called The Boost Experience. Guests had to register in advance. according to the post.

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 allegedly were defaming him. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

His brother, John Krasinski, a Newton native, has appeared in many films and television shows, including his breakout role as a bemused paper salesman in “The Office.”
