Neighbors blast East Village ‘frat house’ for loud parties

Loud, late-night parties at an “East Village frat house” have left fed up neighbors with a massive headache.

Residents claim little has been done to stop the endless barrage of rowdy DJ dance parties at 205 Ave. A — once glamorized by Icon Reality in an ad as a six-bedroom, $ 9,200-a-month “East Village Frat House” — despite lodging numerous noise complaints with 311.

“Every weekend we can count on the rooftop or back yard blowing things up,” said Dale Goodson, who lives four building away on the same block.

The most recent fete was Friday night, when a DJ, who Goodson believes lives in the building, started cracking out dance tunes. Cops in the neighborhood heard the ruckus and shut the party down around 2:30 a.m., police sources said. No arrests were made.

Mitch Kossoff, a lawyer for Icon Realty, said there are guidelines in place for rooftop access, which only the top-floor tenants have access to. Parties past 10 p.m., loud music, consumption of alcohol, barbecuing and smoking are prohibited. Kossoff said he wasn’t aware of any complaints from last weekend’s bash but he’s ready to take necessary action, including eviction proceedings.

“I will apply the next level of pressure as an attorney, if someone is breaching their lease,” he said.

Kyle Frey, 25, who lives on the first floor of the newly renovated building said cops come by “almost every weekend.”
