In the process of designing our property at 199 Bowery, we were faced with some structural concerns which caused us to alter our original plans of having dancing in the cellar, rather than dancing on the main floor.
In the process, we found that the ceiling height and the structural integrity of the base building could not withstand the 30-40lbs per square foot of necessary soundproof material. In order to be compliant, and be good neighbors, we had to build the sound proof box on the ground floor since our ceiling height was greater than the ceiling height in the cellar. This allowed us to create additional structural members and hang the new acoustical ceiling. If we had done the same amount of sound proofing in the cellar, we would have been left with 4 foot ceiling heights.
Due to this challenge we would like to change the agreed upon stipulation #4 from Community Board 3 to move the dancing to the back quarter of the ground floor. This way we can continue to be the great neighbors we have always been at each of our four SLA Liquor Licenses.
For any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to e-mail [email protected].

Finally some common sense. If the floor cant take the weight then moving it is the only logical choice.
Total red tape nonsense. Just approve the change so the noise stays inside like they planned.
The Bowery is changing enough as it is. Let them do their thing, it makes sense regarding the construction issues.
Been waiting for this place to open forever. Stop holding them back over a ceiling height technicality.
Nobody wants a 4 foot ceiling in a club. Just let them fix the license so they can open already!

Leave them alone. They are trying to be good neighbors and keep the noise down which is exactly what we want.
