Mayor Kraham Issues Lockdown Warning to Alleged After-Hours Club

City Puts Owner of 333 Clinton Street on Notice Following Illegal Activity

(BINGHAMTON, N.Y.)—Mayor Jared M. Kraham on Tuesday announced the City has issued a lockdown warning to the owner of 333 Clinton Street, an alleged illegal after-hours nightclub in the First Ward.

Mayor Kraham said: "Properties that operate outside the law put people in danger, burden emergency services and hurt our neighborhoods. The City of Binghamton will continue to have a zero-tolerance policy for illegal after-hours clubs. We've put the owner of 333 Clinton Street on notice—if illegal activity at the property doesn't stop, we'll use every available resource to shut it down."

The City has sent a lockdown warning letter to Outstanding Services 5, LLC, of Binghamton, and Omar Boone, of Binghamton, stating 333 Clinton Street may be deemed a public nuisance under the City's Property and Building Nuisance Reform Law, commonly known as the "lockdown law."

The property has accrued a total of 22 lockdown points since November 2025. The majority of the points stem from an alleged assault on November 8, when police responded to the area of 333 Clinton Street around 4:50am for reports of a stabbing. A party was taking place inside the property at the time, according to police.

The other lockdown points are tied to general disturbances, noise and a zoning code violation.

"After-hours clubs" are commercial spaces that operate in the early morning hours after legal tavern establishments have closed. These informal clubs do not have New York State liquor licenses or City planning approvals to operate as nightclubs, skirting the law and often becoming hubs of illegal activity and serious neighborhood quality of life issues.

Under the City's lockdown law, officials can assign point values to properties for different types of nuisance activity. More serious crimes have higher point values. A building is deemed to be a public nuisance if it accumulates 12 or more points in a six-month period or 18 or more points in a 12-month period, triggering a warning letter from the City to the property owner.

After receiving a lockdown warning letter, property owners have 30 days to meet with City officials, submit a corrective action plan and abate the nuisance. If an owner fails to do so, the City will file a complaint with City Court and ask for a temporary closing of the premises, known as a lockdown.

Mayor Kraham announced the return of the City's lockdown law in 2022. Numerous properties have been issued lockdown warning letters by the City since then, with some shut down by court orders.

333 Clinton Street is the latest property to receive a lockdown warning letter from the City.
