Seek probe of precinct nab reports

THE NYPD ISSUED more than 100 Criminal Court summonses in a recent 12-month period near Sin City, a notorious strip club in the South Bronx — but not one of them was reported to the State Liquor Authority as required by law.

Now SLA Board Chairman Vincent Bradley is calling for an investigation into cops at the 40th Precinct. State law requires police to report all incidents involving establishments with liquor licenses to the agency.

The 103 summonses from June 2015 through June 2016 near the club in Mott Haven were for everything from public urination to low-level assaults.

“If we want to talk about the Police Department, I think the 40th Precinct has to be looked at as well,” Bradley said Wednesday at an SLA hearing that ended with the strip club losing its liquor license.

“There were numerous, I mean dozens, of arrests in or around this location, and we didn’t get one referral. We had to go and ask for it.”

Bradley implied the precinct’s commanders were intentionally not reporting incidents near the Mott Haven club.

“The Police Department has had major issues referring cases from this place to us,” Bradley said. “They are required by law to refer every time they are called there. And I think I know why, but we’re not going to get into that, but I think I have a pretty good idea why.”

The NYPD did not respond to requests for comment.

The News has previously reported that the club kept James Alles, who is a retired NYPD inspector and former Bronx precinct commander, on the payroll to smooth over issues with cops at the 40th Precinct stationhouse.

Alles had close ties in the Bronx as the former commander of the 45th and 52nd precincts before he retired in 2009.

The News reported in August that cops failed to notify the SLA of a Christmas morning shooting outside the club in 2013. In that incident, a patron fired several times into the front door of the club on Park Ave. near E. 138th St. in the wee hours, police said.
