A Pacha New York rep told The Post it worked for months to get the proper city permits to demolish the Brooklyn Mirage\u2019s troublesome leftovers \u2014 and \u201cas soon as the permit was secured, demolition was completed in record time on April 16.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn order to safely demolish the building, the contractors first had to stabilize the unsafe structure,\u201d a Department of Buildings rep said, resulting in a \u201clonger demolition timeline.\u201d <\/p>\n
On-site work at the venue began April 17, the Pacha rep said \u2013 while ongoing off-site work remains \u201ckey to maintaining momentum and meeting our timelines.<\/p>\n
\u201cPacha New York is on schedule, with a built-in buffer to ensure all final inspections and approvals are completed ahead of opening.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two-month race to the finish line will have city inspectors assess the completed site no later than mid-May, the new operator said \u2014 a move that will give the DOB and the FDNY weeks, instead of days, to check for hazards.<\/p>\n

Pacha New York\u2019s inaugural weekend is set to kick off on June 13 before an \u201cofficial\u201d opening party slotted for June 20 and 21.<\/p>\n
More than 12,000 tickets have been sold for this upcoming season so far, despite Pacha New York\u2019s still-pending application to have its liquor license transferred from the previous venue.<\/p>\n
But during a public meeting last week, FIVE Holdings founder Kabir Mulchandani told the Williamsburg community board that the site will open regardless of the transfer \u2013 and can technically work under the Brooklyn Mirage\u2019s existing license.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe venue is gonna open either way,\u201d Mulchandani told the board.<\/p>\n

The meeting also unveiled Mulchandani\u2019s new plans for the club, including free late-night shuttles to Manhattan and Brooklyn subway entrances; artificial intelligence-powered capacity monitoring and security gates; post-event security patrols and a 21-and-over age limit.<\/p>\n
The CEO also vowed teams would clean the surrounding streets of trash after events, and contended his $2.5 million \u201cfully-directional\u201d sound system will bring a \u201c50 to 75%\u201d reduction in noise emitted into the streets.<\/p>\n
But some Brooklynites are still wary of the operator\u2019s ability to clean up after thousands of nightly attendees and temper its booming bass until the wee morning hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve really seen what these clubs do to the neighborhood,\u201d Brooklyn mom Karina, who lives near the venue, told the board.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese people come in from other communities and they basically trash the neighborhood \u2026 The sound that came from Brooklyn Mirage caused a lot of issues at school for my children, as they did not get the sleep they needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sound mitigation that you talked about sounds great,\u201d she said, \u201cbut I\u2019ll believe it when I see it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is it d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, or just a Mirage?
