The Petition of the following citizens of the State of New York residing in the City of New York in Community Board 3 oppose a new on-premise license on for LES Junction at 155 Rivington Street.There is no public benefit in continuing to license a problematic premises with an adverse NY SLA and NYPD history, and has been an on-going quality of life problem for residents living above, across, behind and nearby.
The area 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 proposal by LES Junction at 155 Rivington Street will not improve the already degraded conditions or relieve the traffic pressures from the Williamsburg Bridge. In fact, the LES Junction proposal calling for DJS, In-house promoted events, some events with cover charges, security guards, entertainment level music, 4AM closing, hot/cold small plates (bar food) will only escalate the current deleterious conditions and compromise public safety.
We the undersigned urge you to deny this license outright. If CB3 decides to approve, we demand that you protect this community by reducing hours to 12AM (Sun - Thurs) and 1 AM (Fri - Sat), restrict DJs, wait-lines, security personnel stationed outside, promoted events, cover charges, and entertainment level music.

Living 200 feet away on the 4th floor means I should not have to hear the music and patrons of this bar but I do. They stand outside smoking and screaming like people don't live here. It is bad enough that we have new bars on Clinton St. making noise as well as the bar on 174 Rivington but 155 Rivington has been a continuous offender. We're over saturated with bars that allow their patrons to run around and hang outside like it's adult daycare then the pump the music to add to it. It's disgusting. We are surrounded by schools, some of these bars are also in violation for being too close to a school as well as too close to one another. How can the community board or the city justify the violation of these rules?
I live on Suffolk Street however share a rear court yard with the bar..They crank the sound of the music up so loud I can't sleep after 1AM on Fri. Sat.
573 41st St 2

There are so many bars! We have been fighting this fight for so long! No more bars! There are enough places to get drunk and throw up.
Please No more bars!!

I am elderly and very healthy. However, I cannot make my way around Rivington, Clinton, Ludlow and other LES streets that I grew up on because there are so many drunk people literally falling down on top of pedestrians, fighting, arguing, vomitting, etc. The seniors of this community who built this community are being menaced by some of these bar patrons and the "Bourbon Street" atmosphere. The LES has always welcomed nightlife, but we have hit the limit and it must be immediately reduced. This is OUR community and the drunk people from outside are not honoring our quality of life.
