Illegal after-hours club boarded up in case against Hilltop landlords

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- It was announced Wednesday that an illegal after-hours club will be boarded up following a lawsuit against two Hilltop landlords.

Located in the 1800 block of Sullivant Ave., the club operated without a liquor license, and often "sees large crowds, fights, alleged drug use, numerous noise complaints from neighbors, threatened gun violence, and a sexual assault," according to a release from City Attorney Zach Klein.

Klein filed a lawsuit last week seeking to declare landlords Vikas Dadlani and Sadhna Hingorani as nuisance landlords. He said the living conditions their tenants are subject to are unacceptable.

"We will continue to pursue these slumlords to hold them accountable for the crime and deplorable living conditions that they let fester for too long," Klein said.

The property also failed fire code inspections and lacked the proper zoning clearance to operate as a club.
