    I live in the building that Stairs calls home and can tell you that it's nothing but a nuisance so far... My neighbors have to ask them to turn down their (awful) music at least three times a night, their sign looks like a Microsoft Word wingding, and I think they're using the liquor license from the previous establishment which is illegal....

    In reference to Stairs - call 311 and forward the complaints to CB3. Attend the next 9th Precinct Council Meeting to raise your concerns. Contact Michael Jones at the New York State Liquor Auhority and ask them to investigate. This Stairs deal always sounded shady to me.
