\"Neighbors <\/p>\n

QUEENS – Complaints are mounting over a popular Astoria nightclub that neighbors say is keeping them up at night and fueling fights, vandalism and other quality-of-life issues.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

Code nightclub, which bills itself on social media as “Queens\u2019 No. 1 nightclub,” draws large crowds to Steinway Street on weekends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

But residents who live nearby say the late-night hotspot has become a persistent problem since opening after the pandemic.<\/p>\n

“They keep us up all the time,” said Sam Muster, who lives near the club. “We\u2019re woken up pretty much every weekend night, Thursday through Sunday.”<\/p>\n

Muster and her neighbors say the situation worsens around 4 a.m., when the club closes and crowds spill onto the street.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s worse around 4 in the morning when the club is closing and people are going home,” one neighbor said.<\/p>\n

Residents describe streets clogged with cars, blaring horns, shouting and fights.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

“Whole streets blocked up, sirens \u2014 it\u2019s a lot of shouting and honking and fights,” another neighbor said.<\/p>\n

They also report broken bottles, vomit and property damage in the area. One resident said a group of women entered her building\u2019s common stairwell around 4 a.m. in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Muster said two of her cars were damaged in separate incidents she believes were connected to clubgoers leaving the venue.<\/p>\n

Car damage <\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve had two cars that have been hit by drunk drivers who have then driven away,” she said. “I\u2019ve come outside to go to work the next day \u2014 they completely destroyed one car. Another car had a hole in the back fender.”<\/p>\n

She provided photos showing significant damage to the vehicles, which she said occurred overnight on weekends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Witnesses told her at least one of the incidents involved someone leaving the nightclub, she said.<\/p>\n

Police data show enforcement activity at the location over the past year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Criminal court summonses <\/p>\n

Local perspective:<\/p>\n

According to the New York Police Department, officers issued eight criminal court summonses and four OATH summonses at the club within the last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On New Year\u2019s Day, a business inspection resulted in two criminal court summonses related to a 911 call for underage drinking.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

In addition, police issued 170 parking summonses on the same block during that period and dozens of summonses to the club\u2019s owners for quality-of-life conditions, according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Neighbors say they have had little to no communication with the club\u2019s management and are calling for stronger action.<\/p>\n

“God, I just want them gone,” Muster said. “They can\u2019t even be nice anymore. They\u2019re too far past that.”<\/p>\n

Messages seeking comment from Code nightclub\u2019s management were not returned.<\/p>\n
