The City Sheriff teamed up with the 104th Precinct early Sunday to raid an illegal club in a warehouse on the border of Maspeth and Ridgewood.

More than 150 partiers were discovered just after midnight at 50-00 Grand Ave. during the bust, in violation of state orders against gatherings during the pandemic, the Sheriff tweeted.

Photos released by authorities show dozens of people lined up against a wall in a space outfitted with blue overhead lights.

Law enforcement said the club had no liquor license, and they found health code violations. One promoter was arrested, according to the Sheriff. There was no information immediately available about the arrest.

The raid is the third in Queens over the past three weekends. Previously, two clubs on Roosevelt Avenue were busted by authorities.

Mayor’s plan for 109th Precinct satellite annex in College Point wins praise from northeast Queens leaders

The crowd that gathered at the 109th Precinct Community Council monthly meeting had waited years to hear the news that Mayor Eric Adams delivered in person at the Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel in Downtown Flushing on Nov. 13.

The mayor announced the creation of a neighborhood satellite command in College Point that will divide the 109th Precinct into two response zones, allowing police to respond more swiftly to emergencies and 911 calls. The 109th Precinct annex will utilize existing space at the NYPD’s Police Academy at 28-29 College Point Blvd. and serve Sectors Charlie and David in Whitestone, Beechhurst, Bay Terrace and College Point.
