The famed South Bronx strip club, Sin City, was maligned by many in its own community over the years for its problems with drug dealing, gang fights, gun crime, and wild parties sparkling with celebrities—from 50 Cent to Odell Beckham Jr. to Drake.

Once, the local community board in Mott Haven, where the club spread across an industrial area, cited 61 reports of “dangerous activity” tied to the club and called it a “terror zone” in a letter sent to the state Liquor Authority.
