Council Objects to Liquor Permit Transfer on West 130th Street
Cleveland City Council is formally opposing a proposed change in ownership for a liquor permit at 4741 West 130th Street. Introduced by Council Member Kazy, Emergency Resolution 1177-2026 seeks to block the transfer of C1 and C2 liquor permits from KIMVIS, Inc. to Reva Satyam, LLC, which is doing business as City Mart.
## What's in the file
The resolution officially records Council's objection to the transfer of Permit No. 04652205-1 to Permit No. 10017662-1 1177-2026-FOR ADOPTION-OBJ-TRFO-4741 West 130th Street-WARD 13. According to the text of the resolution, the objection is based on several stated rationales:
* The area is described as a high-crime area that is already saturated with other liquor outlets.
* The applicant may not qualify as a permit holder or has previously operated in disregard of state laws and local ordinances.
* The establishment may not meet local building, safety, or health requirements.
* The physical arrangement of the location could prevent law enforcement from having reasonable access.
* The location could substantially interfere with public peace, decency, sobriety, or good order.
The resolution requests that the Superintendent of Liquor Control set a hearing regarding this application. As an emergency measure, the resolution directs the Clerk of Council to transmit certified copies of the objection and a request for the hearing to be held in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County 1177-2026-FOR ADOPTION-OBJ-TRFO-4741 West 130th Street-WARD 13.
## Who may be affected
The resolution specifically names Ward 13 and the business located at 4741 West 130th Street.
## Status and timeline
The resolution was introduced on September 25, 2026, and is currently listed as "Agenda Ready." Because it is an emergency measure, if it receives the required two-thirds affirmative vote from Council members, it would take effect immediately upon adoption and approval by the Mayor 1177-2026-FOR ADOPTION-OBJ-TRFO-4741 West 130th Street-WARD 13.
## What to watch next
The record indicates that the next concrete step is a hearing to be set by the Superintendent of Liquor Control for the permit application.
