COLUMBUS, Ohio — The city of Columbus shut down an illegal after-hours club on the southwest side following a lawsuit filed last week against the property owners.

According to Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein's office, the city secured a court order to board up the property located at 1885 Sullivant Ave. that was operating as an unregistered after-hours club.

According to court documents, the club was the site of large crowds, fights, alleged drug use, numerous noise complaints from neighbors, threats of gun violence and a sexual assault.

The property also failed to obtain proper zoning clearance to operate as a club, violated Ohio liquor laws and failed fire code inspections due to unsafe conditions, Klein's office said.
