"The Bedford, a former restaurant and club that’s been closed since 2017, hosted an illegal pandemic party. The venue is a converted bank space where designers left the safety deposit boxes and safe doors intact for ambiance. The city issued multiple citations and cease-and-desist orders for violations including overcapacity, no masks, and lack of business licenses, ultimately ordering the space closed for hazardous conditions." - Ashok Selvam
