City Attorney Mike Feuer also said the club is a “hub of violence and crime,” including several shootings over the summer.
“Beyond the bullets, assaults, and criminal activity, packing people into an unlicensed nightclub during the pandemic is the height of irresponsibility,” Feuer said Monday in a news release. “That’s why licensed clubs are closed right now.”
The nuisance abatement lawsuit seeks to permanently shut down the club, which has been operating out of a storefront, as well as prohibit the defendants from using the property as a nightclub in the future.
The lawsuit alleges that the nightclub is advertised as a secret venue on social media and offers pole dancing, music, hookah, performances and a bar. Prosecutors say that while the storefront looks closed, patrons enter through a back door.
