"The Brooklyn Mirage music venue is set to welcome ravers again this June after another nightlife company has stepped in to save the troubled spot, which was not allowed to reopen because of numerous safety issues. The gargantuan indoor- and outdoor-venue will be renamed Pacha New York, with Pacha Group parent company FIVE Holdings to take over the Brooklyn Mirage."
"The Department of Buildings revoked the venue's temporary occupancy certificate just days before its anticipated opening, with issues stemming from inadequate accessibility requirements, toilets and automatic fire sprinklers. "From [the venue's] questionable footing to the large truss at its zenith, from its cantilevered mezzanines to its exterior walls, it was potentially unsteady, combustible, illegal, and no place to put 6,000 people," then-Buildings Commissioner Jimmy Oddo said in a statement."
Brooklyn Mirage will reopen in June under new operator FIVE Holdings and will be renamed Pacha New York. Permits approved by the Department of Buildings call for the structure to be demolished and rebuilt. FIVE Holdings said the venue will present global and underground electronic artists, Grammy-winning performers, and shows with ambitious production. The venue failed safety inspections and lost its occupancy after missing an inspection deadline because of inadequate accessibility, toilet facilities, and automatic fire sprinklers. The city also cited a failure to submit a periodic gas piping inspection, and Avant Gardner's parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
