Virgil Aiello said today DeLuca's on Charles Street could be back in the wine business within a month after receiving Inspectional Services approval - which his lawyer said could be any day now.
Aiello and attorney Terry Dangel told the Boston Licensing Board that renovations to the market - destroyed in a four-alarm fire in July, 2010 - are proceeding apace, even as Aiello continues lawsuits against Nstar for the basement short circuit blamed for the fire.
The two did not provide an estimate for when the rest of the market could re-open, but said the store's insurer has been good with funds, the general contractor is well along in plans, that the store has an all new alarm system and is getting a new emergency exit.
Dangel, who does not normally appear before the licensing board, emphasized he was acting more as a neighbor whose wife really wants to see DeLuca's open again and was not getting paid for his legal counsel.
