Alicia Petrakis, who operated Par 3 restaurant and Villa Vista banquet hall at the San Mateo golf course, has sued the city over alleged negligence regarding the condition of the leased buildings. Petrakis asserts that city officials were aware of longstanding flooding and sewage issues yet failed to address them despite her repeated concerns. The situation escalated when the building was abruptly closed during a busy dinner service on Oct. 11, 2024, which resulted in the permanent closure of her business and the loss of over 61 jobs. Petrakis laments the avoidable nature of the crisis, marking a significant loss in her long career in hospitality.
Petrakis claims that city officials knew for years the buildings she leased were prone to flooding and sewage issues but failed to warn her adequately.
The abrupt red-tagging of the building during dinner rush led to the business never reopening, resulting in over 61 job losses.
Petrakis expressed her heartbreak over the situation, emphasizing that her 30-year career in hospitality faced an unnecessary end.
