Two parties in NYC dismantled for breaking COVID-19 regulations – Telemundo New York (47)

NEW YORK – A party inside a “sex dating” club, operating Saturday night inside a state-designated yellow zone, was dismantled after a report was made to NYC311 of an alleged party, said the sheriff’s office.

Agents responded to the illicit party in Astoria, Queens, shortly after 12:00 a.m. Sunday morning. At least 80 people were found inside the place.

Two organizers and a client were charged with multiple misdemeanors, the sheriff’s office said. The property owner faces a fine of $ 15,000.

The Astoria neighborhood recently entered the Yellow Zone under the New York State Contagion Risk Places approach. In this area, meetings are limited to 25 people.

“Deputy Sheriffs also observed 3 couples having sex in a small room and the place did not have a liquor license or special permit from the New York State Liquor Authority to sell or store alcohol,” the office said in a report on Sunday.

The raid on the club wasn’t the only party broke up by agents Saturday night. Less than an hour earlier, police began monitoring a party in Manhattan’s Garment District and eventually broke up that meeting two hours later.

More than 120 people were found inside the event space, drinking alcohol, smoking hookah and dancing, according to the sheriff.

Two security guards, a DJ, a bartender and a party organizer face violations that carry fines of $ 15,000.
