My overall point was that, if you run the club, would you be doing those things or not? Would your bathroooms be disgusting, food cold, kitchen unclean? Or, would you be running the club like a proper club?

A couple years ago a building in the East Village blew up and killed two people because the owner was trying to skirt the law and syphon gas from the commercial space on the ground floor to the residential area above to save money. And they used an unlicensed, random handy man to do it. Didn't tell ConEd, didn't tell anyone. Two people including a 19 or so year old kid are dead.
Restaurants are always being shuttered temporarily or permanently for health-code violations.
Obviously many people will want a well-maintained space to make money, but if you want to live in a world where you don't know if the building is going to collapse, or if there's rat shit all over your possibly under-refrigerated perishables, or if someone's storing poisonous chemicals right next to food prep areas, or if you're being served drinks in dirty glasses, then I'm sure there's some countries somewhere you can visit. But as much as it costs us a shitload of money, I'd rather the peace of mind for when I go elsewhere.
