Deja Vu Appeals

The Times reports that the Deja Vu strip club has filed an appeal in the Second Circuit requesting that the court allow them to open while their certificate of occupancy is being contested. Scott Sinclair, attorney for opponents of the club, says: "Their game, from day one, was to hurry up, get the thing built and dare somebody to keep them from opening."

This controversy will likely go back in front of the city council, which will have 6 (out of 7) new members in the new year. It is certainly a possibility that the 20,000 square foot club will lose its occupancy certificate and a zoning debate if that were to happen.
