Alleged after-hours nightclub in Binghamton locked down
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The owner of an alleged after-hours nightclub and lounge has entered an agreement with the city of Binghamton to lock down the property and demolish the building on Broome Street. Steven Krauss was sent a warning by Binghamton Mayor Jared Kraham in April 2024 stating that the property may be deemed a public nuisance under the City's Property and Building Nuisance Reform Law, commonly known as the 'lockdown law.' 'The alleged illegal after-hours club at 8 Broome St. is upending residents' quality of life and draining already-limited police resources. Under Binghamton's updated lockdown law, we are putting the property owner on notice – the City will not tolerate establishments that operate outside the law, threaten public safety and hurt our neighborhoods. If the activity isn't abated, we'll use every resource possible to shut this location down,' said Kraham. On April 30, Krauss agreed to lock down the property, as well as promising to obtain a demolition permit to dismantle the back portion of the building where a bar and lounge currently exists, to reconstruct the area as office space for his trucking company. As part of the agreement, no construction will be done before 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m., and no one without expressed written consent will be allowed onto the property during the lockdown period, which is scheduled to last 12 months. Anyone seen on the premises during such time will be subject to criminal loitering prosecution. The front portion of 8 Broome Street, where Krauss operates his Bail Bonds business, will only be accessible to Krauss on certain days of the week for limited hours.
