Controversial Sunset club suing local police commander loses liquor license
They can party, but they can’t drink, at controversial Sunset Park club Love and Lust, which lost its liquor license on Tuesday, May 16.
The cancellation of the license by the New York State Liquor Authority, “due to the sheer number of violations and repetitive nature of the violations” comes on the heels of club owner Imran Jairam alleging in a $125 million notice of claim filed against the city, the NYPD and the SLA that 72nd Precinct Commander and Deputy Inspector Emmanuel Gonzalez demanded contributions to Puerto Rican relief efforts to forestall enforcement of violations at the bar.
During the SLA hearing, Chairperson Vincent Bradley said that the administrative law judge (ALJ) had, “found there is little to no supervision over the conduct of the premises and my reading of the decision supports that.”
