BAR HARBOR, June 21, 2025 - Ocean Properties, owner of the Bar Harbor Regency hotel, has been fined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for $46,350 in the death of a long-time employee when a hotel carport collapsed Feb.
Though I am glad that OSHA listed several very serious violations that led to the preventable death ofthis fine, caring, hardworking person. The fine that Ocean Properties has to pay is a pittance.
Will Ocean really pay the fine .? They are suing the Town to get out of thousands of dollars of fines owed due to their failure to comply with the laws of Bar Harbor.
It is appalling that Ocean Properties doesn’t care that its hotels are deathtraps because they violate safety requirements.
It is clear the anyone is at risk who works at OPI or stays at their hotels.
This wonderful man deserved much, much better than being killed by the corporation for whom he devoted and sacrificed his life.

The management should have never ever let that much ice build up on that structure, definitely negligence x2. Walsh will probably not pay as usual.
