Mayor Kraham Announces Closure of 333 Clinton Street After-Hours Club Following Lockdown Warning
First Ward Property Owner Stopped Illegal Operations, Court-Ordered Monitoring Period Underway
(BINGHAMTON, N.Y.)—Mayor Jared M. Kraham on Thursday announced the owner of 333 Clinton Street has stopped illegal operations of an after-hours nightclub in the building's commercial space, complying with a lockdown warning from the City last month.
Mayor Kraham said: "My administration has been clear from day one—the City of Binghamton has a zero-tolerance policy for problem properties that operate illegally, put residents in danger and wreak havoc on our neighborhoods. The owner of 333 Clinton Street took the City's warning seriously and shut down illegal after-hours activity at the property. This is a win for First Ward residents and for public safety across Binghamton."
On Wednesday, the owner of 333 Clinton Street signed a stipulation agreement in City Court stating he has changed the locks to the property and denied access to the person responsible for the after-hours activity that led to the lockdown proceeding.
Outstanding Services 5 LLC received a lockdown warning letter from the City in early January.
Under Wednesday's stipulation agreement, signed by City Court Judge Judith E. Osburn, another report at the property in the next six months will trigger an immediate lockdown.
Outstanding Services 5 LLC plans to turn the property into a storage facility and will work with the City to obtain all requirements permits and approvals, per the agreement.
A copy of the stipulation agreement is attached.
The lockdown warning letter sent by the City last month stated the property at 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 had accrued a total of 22 lockdown points for incidents dating back to November 2025:
- Assault—12 points
- General Disturbances—2 points
- Zoning Code Violation—6 points
- Noise Violation—2 points
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 lockdown law assigns properties points for different types of nuisance activity, with more serious crimes receiving 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.
Since Mayor Kraham announced the return of the City's lockdown law in 2022, numerous properties have been issued lockdown warnings by the City.
