Large Bronx restaurant El Hanger approved with conditions including ATAP training and manager questionnaires
Summary
After reviewing character-and-fitness paperwork and security plans, the board approved a permanent license for El Hanger (The Hanger at the Garden Theater) with conditions: 2 a.m. close, ATAP training for employees, manager personal questionnaires and no third‑party promoters or private parties.
Representatives for El Hanger (applicants Reginald Reynoso and Rosa Ruiz) presented a large on‑premises application for a restaurant/night venue at a converted theater space. The board examined prior application history (including past denials and a prior canceled license from 2016), fingerprint checks and proposed security staffing (the application listed up to 10 security personnel for high occupancy), and requested personal questionnaires for managers.
Commissioners pressed for clarity about staffing, security, prior cancellations and evidence of fitness; counsel and the applicants supplied clarifications and additional documentation. In a three‑member panel vote the board approved the application with conditions, including ATAP training for all employees, submission of personal questionnaires for managers, no private parties, no third‑party promoters, DJ/recorded music only (no dancing), and a 2 a.m. across‑the‑board close time. Commissioners noted the approval was conditioned on continuing to meet licensing requirements and on submission of required documents.
