The eternal war between newly arrived neighbors and businesses is reaching high volume in the Theatre District, where developers of a new luxury apartment tower say the booming bass from the club next door is blasting windows and rattling residents.

The developers and residents found a sympathetic ear in the city’s Licensing Board yesterday in their noise complaint against Bijou, a nightclub at 51 Stuart St. which was put on notice about its noise levels. A March 23 inspection that found readings of 112 decibels on the dance floor, far higher than the nighttime limit of 50 decibels. The club sits next to AVA Theater District, a 30-story, 398-unit apartment tower at 45 Stuart St. The AvalonBay-owned building opened in 2015 and monthly rents range from $2,860 to $3,845.

AVA manager Brian O’Neill said bad vibrations have been an issue since the building opened, and some residents are leaving.

He said the bass hum travels up the exterior of the neighboring building, going as high as the 24th floor, shaking windows and making residents miserable until the club closes at 2 a.m.

“You can feel the vibration in your body like you would an earthquake, you can feel the rhythm of the bass,” resident Lauren Ingram told the Herald. “No amount of white noise will do anything against that, earplugs won’t do anything against that.”

Karen Simao, an attorney for the club, said the AVA Theater District tower borders Bijou on its right and rear sides and creates an “echo box” that amplifies noise and vibrations, which had not bothered neighbors at a lower height in previous years. She said Bijou has been operating since 2011, and that AvalonBay knew it was building next to a nightclub when they built their project.

And promoters tell the Herald they think it’s unfair for new arrivals to complain about noise from a venue they moved next to.

“It’s one thing if you plunked a concert venue in Beacon Hill, this is the inverse — they plunked a luxury building in the Theatre District, a traditional entertainment zone,” said Chris Sinclair, founder of The Anthem Group, a local promoting company. “Don’t move next to the ocean if you don’t like the smell of salt.”

JC Diaz, executive director of the American Nightlife Association, said the pressure should be on developers to soundproof and insulate their buildings if they decide to build next to music clubs.

“They shouldn’t have been building next to the club in the first place,” Diaz said.

But Anne Cornell, a senior portfolio operations director for AvalonBay, put the onus on Bijou to change.

“They’ve been operating for six years, but the neighborhood’s changed, they need to be adaptable,” Cornell told the Herald. “They used to be here alone, now there’s 400 units here, they need to be mindful and respectful.”

Club owners said the they’ve raised speakers off the floor and hung them from the ceiling in an effort to reduce vibrations, and added a manual volume override so managers can turn down loud DJs. But Licensing Board Chairwoman Christine Pulgini said the club needs to take more action and work with AvalonBay to monitor their noise and vibrations over the next 60 days before reporting back to her, saying the bass blasts are “not going to be tolerated.”
