1401 South Ervay

On Saturday night, a massive party was planned for a historic warehouse in the Cedars — one that filled all five floors with five DJs and promised, among other things, a bounce house, mud wrestling, a mechanical bull ride, a wet T-shirt contest, a foam party and a level referred to as the “Trippy/iHate Bein Sober floor,” where, of course, one “must take shot to enter.” But the so-called Not a Normal Party at 1401 S. Ervay Street never took place: Dallas police were on hand to disburse the long line waiting to get in, sending some would-be partygoers to Northwest Dallas, where, police say, some were shot in the wee small hours of Sunday morning in a nearby McDonald’s parking lot.

A lawsuit filed in Dallas County shows that the city of Dallas’ attorneys actually shut down the party on Friday, getting a temporary injunction against 1401 S. Ervay’s owner, Frieda Bosh, and her youngest son Joel, who, according to city attorneys, “is currently promoting or contracting with others to promote” events in the 110-year-old warehouse, which is on the Dallas County tax rolls for $2,286,880. Frieda has another, more famous son: Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat.

According to city’s petition and application for a temporary injunction filed in Dallas County court Friday, 1401 S. Ervay poses a serious danger to anyone who steps foot in the five-story structure. As in: “The Property is unsafe for human use or occupation because it has various health and safety violations.” The suit was filed at around 2 Friday afternoon; shortly after that the city got its temporary injunction, allowing officers to close down the party before it ever started Saturday night. A hearing on the injunction is scheduled for August 9 in Judge Martin Lowy’s courtroom.

Efforts to reach Freida and Joel, and their representative Larenzo Maxfield, have been unsuccessful; the city says it too had no luck reaching Maxfield last week “despite two voicemails left on his cell.”
