Chelsea neighbors want Viscaya nightclub shut down (749 words) |
 | Residential and business neighbors of Viscaya, the trendy Chelsea dance club and lounge, last week asked Community Board 4 for help in shutting the club down because rowdy patrons, double- and triple-parked limos and the relentless pounding of music have made weekends in the neighborhood unbearable. |
 | The board is also asking the Police Departments Legal Affairs Division and the Mayors Office of Midtown Enforcement to move to close the club. |
 | Patrick Weaver, owner of a building in back of Viscaya and operator of a sound and video editing and transcription service, says he works late but noise from the club makes it impossible to work. |

 | Before Viscaya opened, there were homeless men sleeping and urinating in front of the storefront. |
 | Viscaya has made the street cleaner and safer than ever before, based partly on the fact that most of our security men are ex-police officers. |
 | Viscaya is not a motorcycle bar and we do not cater to bikers. |
