The city wants to evict a rowdy Brooklyn motorcycle club that serves unlicensed booze to teens after an argument sparked inside the club ended in murder on the street, court papers say.
City lawyers filed the lawsuit to boot the “God’s Only Demons Motorcycle Club” from the one-story brick building in Gowanus where the club hangs out, calling the biker group a “public nuisance” that “endangers the safety or health of members of the surrounding community.”
City lawyers cited an October 2012 murder that went down outside the club. Alberto Pena, 33, was shot and killed after getting in a fight with another man inside the joint.
“The two men exited the subject premises, and gunfire was then exchanged between the victim’s entourage and the assailant as patrons were standing in front of the subject premises,” the suit states.
Neighbors said at the time that they were terrified of the club and that gambling, violence and drugs were often associated with its private parties.
“We’ve called the cops a bunch of times, but nothing happens,” a person who lives near the club told The Post in 2012.
“We do it anonymously — because we’re all terrified of them.”
The city’s suit says vice cops inspected the club in February 2013 and found it didn’t have a liquor license – then in August 2013 a 16-year-old boy got so drunk at a party held at the club that he was taken to Methodist Hospital.
“The child and his mother informed the interviewing officer that he was attending a party held at the subject premises by one of his high school friends and alcoholic beverages were being openly and freely given to minors without their ages being questioned,” the suit states.
Attempts to reach the club or its owners were not successful.
