The Jarmulowsky Bank Building at 9 Orchard Street (corner of Canal) is being transformed into a large-scale destination hotel with a capacity of 800 persons and housing multiple restaurant, bars, lounges, and event spaces marketed regularly for large corporate events. The method of operation being applied includes full liquor, DJs, closing hours as late as 4AM, retractable ground to ceiling French doors, outdoor cafe seating and rooftop deck.

The Petition of certain citizens of the State of New York residing in Manhattan Community Board 3 ("CB3”) in the City of New York, oppose the application for hotel liquor license for Orchard Street Hotel Management LLC and Orchard Street Restaurant Management LLC, as applied to CB3 including supplemental materials and presented to the public on September 24 and October 1.

We support the application for an on-premise hotel liquor license as outlined below (click here for full details):

Dining room and diner serving food all hours; cocktail lounge, diner and bar, dining room, lobby lounge, private event spaces and rooftop event spaces serving liquor according to the following hours:

- CELLAR COCKTAIL LOUNGE: 5PM-2AM

- 1ST FL NEIGHBORHOOD DINER & BAR INDOOR: 8AM-12AM M-SAT. / 8AM-11PM SUNDAY

- 1ST FL NEIGHBORHOOD DINER AND BAR OUTDOOR: 8AM-10PM S-S

- 1ST FL HOTEL DINING ROOM: 7AM-12AM M-SAT / 7AM-11:00PM SUNDAY

- 1ST FL HOTEL LOBBY LOUNGE: 5PM-2AM S-S

- 2ND FL EVENT SPACE - LARGE: 7AM-2AM S-S

- 2ND FL EVENT SPACE -SMALL: 7AM-2AM S-S

- 14TH FL ROOFTOP EVENT SPACE - INDOOR: 7AM-2AM S-S

- 14TH FL ROOFTOP EVENT SPACE - OUTDOOR: 8AM-12AM S-S

Premises may have recorded, background music; no DJs; no security; no cover charges; and no promoted events.

The Petitioners request that NY State Liquor Authority ("SLA") only approve the hotel license under these conditions and stipulations. If the SLA or CB3, determines this application does not meet the public standard threshold set-forth in the 500 Ft Law or subject to any other restrictions, i.e. the 200 Ft Law, we the petitioners seek that this application be denied outright and withdraw our support based on the above conditions. We the undersigned live in the buildings adjoined, across, behind, next to or in close proximity to the hotel and will be impacted significantly by the increase in traffic, noise, and pedestrian crowding.

The momentum is undeniable now. This neighborhood deserves better than a 4AM destination hotel.

We need to stop these changes to our quality of life before they become entrenched. The character of this neighborhood is at stake and those of us who live nearby have watched in horror as the drunken antics north of Delancey Street have slowly crept down towards Canal. We are united against this!

Establishments like this deteriorate the neighborhood's peaceful quality of life, and worst of all negatively affects the sleeping patterns of local citizens with loud drunken customers exiting out into the streets in the middle of the night.

restaurants at 9 Orchard need to close 12am/1am in line with restaurants in the neighborhood. Bars need to close at 2am similar to like bars in the neighborhood. Any bar that close later down here has a smaller capacity then 9 Orchard. CB3 needs to listen and be fair to the residents of the neighborhood. This is only the beginning.

I've lived up the block from the bank for 25 years, and the neighborhood is already becoming way too congested with all the buses, new businesses, Chinese trading companies, etc. Something has to give and throwing a giant hotel into the midst of all this chaos is just asking for trouble.

I’ve lived and spent time in the neighborhood for years. It has been changing a lot but the people who have changed it have been small businesses. Jarmulovski project would be nice had it been office space. A party destination no thanks.

I am a resident in the area surrounding 9 Orchard Hotel. I am writing to let you know that I support the terms that OSBA proposes for operating hours. I do not support 2 or 4 AM closing. I would support this business operating as a hotel , but not as a nightclub.

Noise at night from bars is a huge issue for our neighborhood. Respect the neighbors please.
