A landmark hot dog place is facing an uncertain future due to nonpayment of taxes.
According to an article from Universal Hub, Simco's in Mattapan is staring at a possible seizure by the state, as the Blue Hill Avenue spot has debts of $736,000 in taxes and interest, and only $20,000 has been paid, resulting in the Department of Revenue making a court request to enter the premises for the purpose of seizing the business and selling/disposing of the property. The dining spot, which has been in business since the 1930s, is known mostly for its hot dogs while also offering soups, salads, subs, pizza, calzones, and more.
The address for Simco's is 1509 Blue Hill Avenue, Mattapan, MA, 02126.
