The undersigned of this petition respectfully call upon the State Liquor Authority to not renew the on premises liquor license for Papasito Mexican Grill, 223 Dyckman Street, Inwood, Manhattan, 10034.

We are in agreement that the restaurant from its opening has been operating outside the scope and boundaries of its license, and is more like a nightclub than a restaurant.

The owners have continuously sidestepped and ignored agreements with Community Board 12 and the residents in the area.

As of this writing, ongoing problems with Papasito regarding noise, crowd control,
loitering, patrons urinating in public, or in adjoining or nearby apartment buildings, fights, patrons double parking and blasting music from vehicles outside of the establishment, patrons drinking outside the premises, loud music played through open windows of the dining area late at night, a cafe seating area that does not close on time and dancing within the premises accompanied by loud music without being licensed as a cabaret are issues that the residents in the direct area, and the community members of Inwood, Manhattan 10034 do not want.

We believe that the community would be better served by a business owner who is committed to operating in good faith and within our community standards regarding quality of life issues.

Thank you for considering our opinion in this matter.

I have spent the past several days compiling documentation of the ongoing noise and safety violations to present to the State Liquor Authority. The reports I receive from neighbors about their nightly experiences continue to illustrate a clear pattern of disregard for our community standards.

We are constantly kept awake by very loud over decibel limit "music" from this establishment plus rowdy customers, fights, after hours music...all illegal but mysteriously overlooked by authorities and the Inwood Merchants Association.

FINALLY. This place is a club not a restaurant and the noise is completely out of control. Close it down.

Enough is enough. I live right around the corner and cant get any sleep because of the bass thumping through my walls until 4am. Get them out.

Been living on Dyckman for years and never seen such a lack of respect for neighbors. They do whatever they want with no consequences.

The double parking and loud music from cars is just the icing on the cake. Place needs to go.

Total nightmare for the neighborhood. People are literally peeing in the lobby of my building every single weekend. Disgusting.
