The liquor authority denied the rooftop license application for the Holiday Inn. My neighbors and I can finally breathe easier knowing our bedrooms will not be subjected to the noise and chaos of another late night bar. Thank you for helping me protect our homes.

Community Opposition to Holiday Inn On-premise Roof-top License at 148 Delancey Street
Final supporters
The Petition of the following citizens of the State of New York residing in the City of New York in Community Board 3 oppose the expansion of additional on-premise license on the roof of the Holiday Inn (SC Delancey LLC), 148 Delancey Street. The plans to extend an on-premise license to the Holiday Inn rooftop is in an area that is already over-served with late-night bars, nightclubs, hotel lounges and restaurants. These numerous late-night drinking options have resulted in deleterious quality of life, unsafe living conditions, and traffic congestion and pollution for residents.
The rooftop is located on the corner of Delancey St and Suffolk Streets, two blocks from the entrance to the Williamsburg Bridge. The proposed rooftop will adversely affect and further degrade quality of life as a result of the close proximity of this application to residential buildings and will bring additional traffic to and from the Williamsburg Bridge—a never-ending source of noise and vehicular congestion and pollution. The proposed site is the tallest building in the area, with a courtyard that connects to every building on the entire block, from the east side of Suffolk, to the south side of Rivington St. and the west side of Clinton Street. The way the buildings are linked in the area noise from the rooftop bar can affect thousands of residents directly. On one side, the Holiday Inn, physically touches the building of 98 Suffolk St, where seniors, co-op owners and families reside and their windows look out onto the Holiday Inn courtyard.
Many of the undersigned live in the buildings adjoined, next to, behind, or in close proximity where numerous apartments share windows and / or terraces with views at level or above the rooftop venue].

I lay in bed at night listening to the existing street noise and I know that adding a rooftop bar will make it impossible for my family to sleep in our own home. My neighbors keep stopping me on the corner to share their own fears about how this terrace will trap sound and ruin our courtyard quiet. We are currently preparing our testimony to ensure that every resident living along Suffolk and Rivington has a chance to be heard.

Seeing the neighborhood unite like this feels incredible because I know exactly how much noise already pours into our bedrooms at night. This momentum proves that we actually have the power to stop them from turning our block into a permanent party zone. Let's keep moving forward until they understand this rooftop is not an option for this community.

Seriously? Another place to get a cocktail? How about worrying about the people who actually pay rent and live here.
The courtyard acts like a giant megaphone. You can hear everything from a block away. This is a huge mistake.
Enough is enough. My windows rattle from the bridge traffic as it is. Adding a bar right above our heads is just cruel.
NO MORE BARS. this neighborhood is becoming unlivable for actual families. give us a break.
The noise on this street is already out of control. We dont need more drunk tourists screaming on a roof at 2am.

Bad idea. The traffic at that bridge entrance is already a nightmare. This will make it impossible for residents.
