A May 21, 1974 article in the NYT describing the travails faced by David Mancuso as tenants in his building on Broadway just north of Bleecker St began complaining about his weekly party, The Loft, which established the foundations of modern clubbing. Titled "Weekly Parties for 500 Chill Tenants" and authored by Robert McG. Thomas Jr., the closing para states: Mr. Mancuso refused to discuss any of the specifics of his neighbors' charges during a recent telephone interview, saying, "I won't play their game." Sadly the article is too long to paste fully into alt text.
A June 2, 1974 article in the NYT by Robert McG. Thomas Jr., describing the culmination of efforts to stop David Mancuso from holding his weekly party, The Loft, and evict him from the building at 645-647 Broadway. Text except last two paras below. THE LOFT'S OWNER IS TOLD TO VACATE Action Against Discotheque Follows Noise Complaints David Mancuso, the philosophic young music lover whose weekly parties have become a Saturday night sensation for several hundred devoted followers but a persistent headache for his artistic neighbors, has been ordered by the Buildings Department to vacate his connecting second-floor loft at 645-647 Broadway. Mr. Mancuso's sprawling apartment there has doubled as an after-hours discothèque known as the Loft. The order, which was posted on Friday and took effect immediately, was described by Cornelius Dennis, the department's Manhattan borough superintendent, as a rare and unusually severe response to an "extreme situation." "Most department papers get rubber-stamped, but this one I signed personally, said Mr. Dennis, whose pre-emptive, order cited the "overcrowding" at Mr. Mancuso's parties and the "illegal openings" he had allegedly created in the double-brick bearing wall separating his two second floor lofts. '500 Frenzied Dancers' Six of Mr. Mancuso's fellow tenants had cited these "great huge arches," in a recent protest letter they sent to half a dozen official agencies, expressing fear that the building would collapse from the vibrations of Mr. Mancuso's massive stereo system and the stomping of "300 frenzied dancers." Despite the order to vacate, Mr. Mancuso remained in his loft Friday night, even as policemen from the Sixth Precinct and two building inspectors attempted to enforce it. Finding the doors locked and getting no response to their bell-ringing, the raiding party left at 10:30 PM. after spending a half an hour in front of the five-story, double-loft building near Bleecker Street.

When DJing puts stamps on my passport, it's a good time to reflect on #DavidMancuso and give thanks.
