At least 80 people were found at the party. The manager of the venue was reportedly fined $1,000 for not protecting health or safety. The sex club was found in violation of several laws and health guidelines, such as being in a state-designated yellow zone and serving alcoholic drinks without a liquor license.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">The sheriff's office investigated a complaint about the event. They were then able to find the club, located on 20th Avenue near 41st Street in Astoria, Queens. The backroom was lined with mattresses, and a buffet was set up for the attendees. In addition, there were boxes of condoms on display.</p>

Another two couples were spotted having sex in the same area, and one patron was cited for disorderly conduct.</p>

A photo from the Times shows beds pushed together, with a box of condoms on display. The host of the party was not wearing a mask, but was able to see several couples getting sex. A spokesperson for the sheriff's office could not be reached for comment.</p>

It was held at a location that is listed on the company's website as a private upscale on-premise swingers club.</p>

The city's coronavirus rates have been increasing over the past few months, so the sheriff's office is trying to rein in behavior that could fuel a second wave of coronavirus.</p>

The sheriff's office has responded to a large party at least once every evening since August.</p>

The state's yellow zone extends from Astoria through much of the borough. The sheriff's office has also busted an illegal club in the Garment District.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">The club in question was a self-described swingers club, but the sheriff's office says it was not an official swingers club. It was also operating in violation of the NYS Liquor Authority's special permit.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">After the party was broken up, the sheriff's office searched the property and found an array of contraband, including condoms, bottles of alcohol and a buffet. They also found two organizers and a patron who were charged with multiple misdemeanors.</p>

An investigation was launched after a 311 complaint was filed about the party. The sheriff's office has also inspected large parties over the weekends.</p>
