#NYC sheriffs shut down illegal Halloween party in the Bronx

City officials exercised more than 500 costumed ghouls and ghosts from a Bronx warehouse early Sunday after the revelers gathered for a Halloween party in spite of social-distancing and large-gathering rules.

The New York City Sheriff’s Department watched about 150 partygoers in Halloween costumes enter the raucous bash on Seabury Avenue before sending deputies around 1:25 a.m. Sunday to break up the shindig.

Inside the spooky space, deputies found at least 557 people dancing, boozing, not social distancing — many without proper face masks.

In photos, the tightly-packed crowd could be seen mingling underneath strobe lights, cobwebs and a spider suspended in the air.

The venue had been equipped with a large walk-up bar, a food truck and two DJs to entertain the revelers, authorities said.

Despite not having a proper liquor license, there were “large amounts of alcohol” uncovered at the bar and in storage locations, authorities said.

They also had been serving booze without anything to chow down on — in defiance of a statewide food-with-drinks mandate.

Photos showed offices confiscating numerous coolers and tubs of Grey Goose vodka, Casamigos tequila, Bud Light and other booze.

Deputies ordered the illegal bash to shut down — and a photo shows a pirate, a woman in a police costume and others exiting the rager.

Abe V. Systems Inc. was charged for failure to protect public health and safety, running an unlicensed bottle club, and warehousing liquor, authorities said

Desk appearance tickets were also issued to 20 other people, including party organizers, security guards, employees, and entertainers, for violating Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 rules, authorities said.

The tickets from the rager could lead to more than $100,000 in fines.

The bust comes less than 24 hours after another Halloween party was broken up in Brooklyn while in full swing at a warehouse.

Nearly 400 people were found dancing at the Williamsburg venue when authorities shut it down around 1 a.m. Saturday.

Deputies issued desk appearance tickets to nine people, including the party organizer, security guards, employees and entertainers.

Last month, authorities busted more than 200 maskless revelers dancing, drinking and smoking hookah inside a Queens catering hall.

There had been a hookah party — meant to be capped at 45 guests — that people paid to get into at the Queens Luxe Banquet Hall in Ozone Park, sources said.

Coronavirus guidelines in the Empire State currently allow indoor arts and entertainment spaces to operate at 25 percent capacity — though all patrons must wear a mask except when eating or drinking.
