The Long Island, N.Y., owner of a derelict Charlestown marina just a few piers away from Old Ironsides has agreed to sell the defunct yacht basin and to pay a $250,000 penalty to settle a host of public safety and environmental violations, Attorney General Martha Coakley said yesterday.
Charles Lagasse Jr., owner of the Boston Yacht Haven on Commercial Wharf, is buying the Shipyard Quarters Marina and has agreed to return it to a functioning marina, according to Coakley.
"After suffering years of neglect, Shipyard Quarters Marina will no longer pose a threat to public safety," the attorney general said in a statement.
Lagasse could not be reached for comment. The marina's current owner, Martin Oliner, a New York lawyer and mayor of the Long Island village of Lawrence, did not return messages yesterday, nor did his attorney, Nicholas Carter.
"It's a great thing if it comes to pass," Charlestown resident and licensed taxi boat captain Charles Fluhr said yesterday.
Fluhr was so troubled by the marina's condition, particularly its decaying piers, that he wrote Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh in June warning they could become dangerous projectiles if dislodged in a hurricane.
The Department of Conservation in 2012 cited the marina for violations, ordering its owner to make repairs or face fines.
On Monday, Suffolk Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Fahey approved a consent judgment that forces Oliner to pay a $250,000 penalty within 21 days. He also faces another $200,000 fine if he does not meet certain deadlines.
Lagasse and his Charlestown Marina LLC also face a $250,000 penalty if he does not meet specified commitments to restore the marina.
