Underground swingers party at 40-19 20th Ave (NYC Sheriff)

The operators of an underground swingers club in Astoria were busted over the weekend for violating COVID-19 restrictions.
Cops shut down the swingers meet-up at 40-19 20th Ave. where more than 80 people were found partying at the location in a COVID-19 yellow zone. Officers from the NYC Sheriff’s Office broke up the event at around 5 a.m. Sunday.
The deputy sheriffs turned up at the underground joint in response to a 311 noise complaint, according to several news reports. Authorities also found three people having sex in a small room.
Other patrons of the swingers club were unlawfully socializing and drinking alcohol.
The organizers violated the 25 people max limit on gatherings in state-mandated yellow zones and served alcohol without a liquor license. Sheriffs charged the two main organizers for violating emergency orders and on several alcohol-related offenses.
The swingers rendezvous was thrown by Caligula New York, which bills itself as a “private, upscale, on-premise swinger social club for couples, single ladies and select single gentlemen” on its Facebook page.
Photos released by the Sheriff’s Office show a dj booth and bar, a room set up with multiple beds pushed together, a box of condoms and a sign with prices for the VIP room on display.

I guess they didn’t see the cops coming.
Isn’t time to start naming names, so honest people can be recognized and patronized while crooks like these may be boycotted in their many illegal endeavors?
How come Costa with his wooden podium did not know about this? He is our councilmember and he is always talking about things like the environment?
Does the landlord also get fined? Apparently this has been going on for years. How the tenants above put up with is crazy
