license to Latitude 360 - a 1500 person occupancy bar, restaurant, entertainment
Complex at 23 Wall Street (the commercial space in the lower floors of a 482 unit condominium). The building is situated in the frozen security zone on the pedestrian mall across the street from both the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall.
We believe that such an establishment will significantly compromise the quality of life and peaceable enjoyment of this growing residential neighborhood. In addition to safety/security, our concerns include:
Sanitation – Trash is already an issue due to the narrow streets and sidewalks on Exchange Place and South William Street.
Vehicular congestion – The streets on the perimeter of the frozen zone are narrow and the influx of cars, taxis and livery cars will increase the already unmanageable congestion
Noise – given the automobile restriction, there is very limited white noise from the streets surrounding the location. There is a canyon effect and voices from the street carry up to the highest levels of the residential buildings.
Delivery Trucks – idling trucks will increase congestion and noise on the already congested narrow streets.

The feedback from neighbors has been consistent regarding the noise and congestion risks. We are currently preparing our formal testimony for the next community board session.

The momentum behind this opposition is undeniable. We are clearly not alone in our concerns for the neighborhood.

There was a party at 23 Wall last week and the effects on the building were disastrous. Our apartment is on the 31st floor and we couldn't sleep due to the loud music, loud voices and honking cars waiting for passengers outside.
This is a disaster for a historic neighborhood surrounded by iconic churches, memorials and schools. A horrible idea, and one which needs to be assessed legally -- having a nightclub within that close of a proximity to a school (Leman) may be a vioation of local codes.
This is the wrong neighborhood for this type of venue. Because of the canyon effect mentioned, the noise from the venue will be heard in full volume inside my apartment. I would never have a quiet evening again.
I normally don't sign petitions such as this, but this area is unique, crowded by both tourists, residents and business people and often smells from trash that is difficult to pick up. It cannot sustain this kind of enterprise.
This neighborhood during the day is a business and residential area that is already congested. The 482 apartments at 15 Broad Street at the base of the proposed night club desire to keep this a residential area without the issues of a nightclub. There are many young families that reside at 15 Broad and it is not appropriate to have a night club in the building.
This project does not belong here!
I am against this tenant. I think this will bring down the overal value of our homes and significantly reduce the quality of life.

i have huge security and quality of life concerns. this is a high value symbolic target. letting large numbers of people at night who will not be strignetnly screened is a huge mistake
