Remember when Damon Dash leased that space in Tribeca and opened The Dash Artwork gallery [click here if you missed that], and then turned it into a vintage clothes shop called The Nearby 172 Trading Post [click here if you missed that]?
Nicely, in it's final incarnation the area was used as an arty hipster hangout known as DD172 and they received busted selling illegal liquor ...
In accordance to it is website "DD172 is an umbrella organization that redefines the term "media collective" by showcasing artwork on the selection of platforms. DD172 supports and participates in the creation and distribution of functions by artists, musicians, athletes, writers, and filmmakers."
In accordance towards the City of New york DD172 was an unlicensed evening club.
DD172 shut down and Damon Dash moved out in June but he was caught twice before that promoting liquor illegally and costs against Dame are pending.
Did I mention his neighbors hated him? Evidently Dame's space was smack dab in the center of the peaceful upscale residential community.
In the Village Voice
"This is not a club neighborhood," a person inside a pink shirt who did not wish to be named informed me. He lives in 174 Duane, directly next to DD172. "It used to be, but it is not anymore. If it was an industrial neighborhood, it might be fine," he said.
Another 174 Duane resident who wished to stay anonymous told me that "Damon Dash was a horrible neighbor. It had been always tremendous loud, super noisy, tons of rubbish within the road. All these 18-year-old kids cigarette smoking and drinking-real thugs. They had been disrespectful towards the community." This neighbor stated the nearby rumor is the fact that "the proprietor rented to Damon Dash to fuck using the neighbors," and that the landlord knew complete nicely that Dash was not the sort of actuel the neighborhood wanted. He described Dash as being a "hustler" and DD172's purported "media collective" status as a "front" for an unlawful club, a declare that the city evidently corroborates.
