🪩 Neighbors Aren’t Raving About the Noise at State Street Club

• Cielo, a nightclub at 118 State Street known for “coffee raves” and other dance events, might be forced to shut down its dance floor less than a year after opening due to noise complaints.
• The city has received multiple complaints from tenants at 114 State Street next door, including Michelangelo’s Coffee House. The building’s owner has complained that the noise might make it difficult to rent apartments at the building.
• The city has threatened to pull Cielo’s entertainment license unless the owners make changes. Without that license, Cielo could still operate as a tavern to serve alcohol, but would be severely limited in how loud it could play music or hire DJs to perform. [ 🔒WSJ, Cielo]
