This just makes me crazy in the head. I am trying in the spirit of charity to think of any reason why somebody would have a valid noise complaint who lives on St-Denis and unfortunately the spirit of charity is failing in me and my fury at these yuppie shitbags who want the cool culture but also their suburban zone of selfish isolation is the fury of the fire of a thousand suns.

This is ridiculous. I know Divan Orange succumbed to noise complaints, but wasn’t there the case also of a venue that had to shut because a condo for which permits should not have been issued was built next door? What was the name of that venue? Are there more examples?

You’re thinking of La Tulipe, and no, it didn’t have to shut down. But the court did order it to improve its soundproofing even more and pay damages (!!) to the person who had illegally converted his building into condos.
I’m wondering who actually lives close enough to Turbo Haüs to be bothered by any noise. That block of St-Denis has some hotels and short-term rentals and if I recall correctly, they were facing complaints by Airbnb guests before (lol).

Noise complaints were also a factor in the death of Bobards.

@DeWolf: you are a little off on the details regarding La Tulipe. The city issued the license to convert that building to condos. So technically nothing illegal there by the owner. The fault is on the city. I also believe that the owner that did the reno’s then sold the condos, so if there were payments they would have gone to the current owner who submitted the complaints.
