However, it was an outdated application. Russian Deputy Director azevedo emailed the owner to let them know about the application process and has not heard back yet.

In response to an email complaint we received upon arrival, i observed a salsa band performed with the front doors to the business open. I also noted that the sound curtains were not drawn over the windows. I spoke with the manager, danielle about the complaint and reminded him about keeping the door closed during entertainment per the Good Neighbor policy and having the sound curtains closed. I took a sound measurement which showed the band to be operating at 92. 1 dba and 100. 6 dbc. However, the approved sound limit is 86 dba and 91 dbc. I was unable to work with danielle to bring the volume of the band into compliance because it was their last song. But i reminded him that they must always have their doors closed and sound curtains drawn during entertainment tonight, i received an novi for violating their approved sound permit or sorry, sound limit and for having their doors open during entertainment.

M. Inspector zelenak responded to multiple 311 complaints about excessive noise at trinity when she arrived, she heard loud music and went upstairs to the private event area and observed a dj performing for a party. She spoke with one of the owners who claimed that the dj wasnt a dj and that because it was a private event, he did not have any control over the music they played. As part of her report, inspector zelenak included photos which proved that there was in fact a dj as mentioned, they do not have a permit to host entertainment at this time. And additionally, inspector zelenskiys photo showed that the private space hosting the event includes an open air patio when the doors are open, which they were during this event. The upstairs area essentially turns into a rooftop patio with outdoor amplified sound. This was not considered nor approved as part of trinitys llp permit application. Further during intake meetings and then the hearing, the owners indicated that the upstairs private event area would be used for low Key Entertainment events such as performance on their baby grand piano. This was even restated to me personally when i went to set this element for their downstairs bar. Inspector zelenak returned later that night at 10 30 p. M. Due to another 311 complaint, although there was no entertainment at this time, she had rather, she had a rather unplanned and unprofessional conversation with one of the owners. This was the third time the businesses operated entertainment without a permit and they were issued a citation for 300 for this violation on my next update is on svn west located at ten south van ness svn west holds an llp permit with our office for indoor and Outdoor Entertainment on sunday, september 3rd at 7 p.
