A restaurant in Newburgh, New York, has been shut down after a check on the premises led to the business owner failing to produce a valid business license.
The establishment was ousted on Friday, March 25, just before midnight, when it was full of customers, serving alcohol and food and playing music, the Mid-Hudson News reported.
Police and the fire department had come to check on the restaurant after receiving complaints from neighboring homes and businesses of noise, drinking and some criminality.
The fire department found code violations of the property and the business owner, Michael Mcleod, was unable to produce a business license, tax certificates, liquor permits or a health department certificate for the preparation and selling of food.
This has led Mr. Mcleod to be charged with selling alcohol without a license.
According to the news provider, this is the second crackdown on an unlicensed business this month after a restaurant was found charging an entrance fee, selling food and allowing alcohol consumption on-site, despite not having a valid business license.
