Deputies from the city Sheriff’s office shut down an unlicensed club in Corona that was filled with more than 150 people early Sunday.

Photos released by authorities show maskless partiers packed inside the location at 45-18 104th St. at around 3:45 a.m. Sunday.

Five people were arrested during the raid, authorities said. One was allegedly working as the club’s security guard and another was the DJ, NBC reported. Three other men were fined for promoting the party, deputies told the TV station.

The charges can carry a $15,000 fine after the state increased penalties for sponsoring mass gatherings in October.

The Sheriff has raided several western Queens gatherings — in Maspeth, Jackson Heights and Woodside — over the past few weeks. Last weekend, they found 300 people packed into a basement on Junction Boulevard.

Linden Place extension opens in College Point, easing traffic to Whitestone Expressway

Following years of frustrating delays, College Point residents now have a new north-south roadway extension between 20th Avenue and the Whitestone Expressway that will improve traffic conditions and accommodate future traffic growth around the neighborhood.

Council Member Vickie Paladino and Queens Borough President Donovan Richards joined city agencies and community leaders on Monday for the grand opening of the 132nd Street extension, a 0.7-mile extension that is the result of the “College Point Corporate Park Transportation Improvement Study” that was led by the city’s Department of Transportation.
