Raleigh, N.C. — A Glenwood South nightlife complex is temporarily closing its doors after the City of Raleigh cited it for multiple building code violations.

In a letter provided by his attorney, owner Dan Lovenheim on Wednesday voluntary shut down The Village nightclub, which was operating in a footprint that spanned 616 Glenwood Ave., 517 W. Peace, 513 W. Peace and 507 W. Peace streets.

On June 9, the City of Raleigh cited Lovenheim and the owners of The Village for converting the space to a nightclub without obtaining permits required by the state, according to a notice by City of Raleigh Chief Building Official Bryan Robinson.

Robinson also noted that the "building and outdoor area located at your property constitutes a safety hazard and is dangerous to life, health, or other property."

The outdoor area was specifically cited for "inadequate means of egress, exit signage, and emergency lighting for a nightclub use, which makes occupancy of the property as a nightclub especially dangerous to life."

A hearing was set for Thursday, but through his lawyer, Lovenheim said that he met with officials on Monday and decided to temporarily close.

The Village was in the news in April after WRAL News found police issued four civil citations for loud noise at the club.

The issue of music and speakers did come up in the building inspection, as the code official found that a DJ booth with speakers was among the items installed in the outdoor area without building permits or associated inspections.
