Will Noise From a DJ's Hotel Annoy Sunset Park?

Today The Daily News interviews a few people who live near the hotel a DJ is opening in Sunset Park, and they say the lodging house could wind up being a neighborhood nuisance. DJ Bijal Panwala intends to run a club out of the hotel’s lobby at night and says the property will be soundproof. Some folks nearby are still worried about it, though: One neighbor says it should have been built “in a more commercial place,” while another says, “What kind of people are they going to bring, prostitutes?” Panwala, meanwhile, has this to say about the people he hopes to attract: “They’ll want to stay at this hotel because it’s cool, not because they want to stay somewhere to sleep.” It’s worth noting that the hotel is on 33rd Street between 4th Avenue and the expressway: Hardly the most residential street in Brooklyn and also not an epicenter of “cool.” There’s no mention in the story of whether the neighbors are also concerned about the light show Panwala plans to run every weekend.
