The NYPD raided an illegal concert venue operating inside a warehouse across Queens Boulevard from the old Pan American Hotel early Saturday morning.
Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst responded to a 911 call of a brawl in front of a commercial business at 79-95 Barnwell Ave. just before 2 a.m. on Oct. 12. Upon arrival, officers did not find anyone fighting at the location but heard loud music emanating from a warehouse at 75-55 Albion Ave.
Officers entered the location and found a large crowd and security inside the warehouse, where food and alcohol were being served without proper permits. The cops ended the event and dispersed hundreds of spectators without incident, police said Monday.
No arrests were made; however, six violations were issued to the property owner. The six criminal court summonses were served for retailing alcoholic beverages without a license, storing large quantities of food without a license, and employing multiple unlicensed security at the illegal concert venue, where unlicensed food vendors were operating, according to an NYPD spokeswoman.
The property owner was also given a summons for causing or permitting unreasonable noise.
