Ridgewood whore party raided by NYPD

From the Forum West:

Acting on a resident’s tip, the 104th Precinct arrested five individuals and ordered a Ridgewood building shut after a party was illegally held there last weekend.

The investigation began when a resident received a postcard featuring a scantily-clad woman advertising a “Black Out Bash” last Saturday at 1618 Weirfield Street. Aware that the building is zoned for factory uses, and that the owner was cited last year for illegally converting the site to a parking garage, she alerted the 104th Precinct’s Community Affairs Unit.

That the information was forwarded to Lt. James Lombardi of the Special Operations Unit, who responded to the event along with the Anti-Crime Team. The officers immediately shut the party down, which resulted in some of the attendees becoming irate, according to the precinct’s Community Affairs Unit. As a result, several individuals were issued summonses and five were arrested – four for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and one for possession of heroin.

The building was ordered vacated, and FDNY was expected to respond earlier this week to issue an official order to vacate the premises.

Probably a Freudian slip on the headline writer's part.

"Ladies Free Until Midnight!" (after that they cost $5!)

No Freudian slip. I have reported on these parties in the past. They always are advertised with these postcards that feature half-naked women. Some mention booze, some mention other types of "partying." All are marketed toward teens.

We're on it! It pays (us) to advertise.

Years ago 1985 ? there was another place down there by the Halsey L train stop.

It looked like a regular 2 family building. They would pat you down at the front door, make people and check there guns. Climb a narrow step staircase upstairs was a posh bar, dice tables and poker machines.
They also had tables of Italian heros, pasta and squid dishes.
Lots of what sounded like off duty cops talking shop and cracking jokes there

There was no hookers or drugs or flyers, those patrons were well behaved
