The only one getting into this exclusive nightspot now is the city marshal.
Celeb magnet 1OAK has been booted from its home in the Meatpacking District after racking up nearly $1.8 million in back rent, according to court records.
The West 17th Street hotspot — where everyone from Lil Nas X and Megan Thee Stallion to rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine and former Mets ace Matt Harvey have partied — was shuttered as COVID-19 restrictions were put into place.
Co-owner Richie Akiva vowed in January 2021 that his club would “come back in full force.”
But it never reopened, and on Thursday, the city marshal evicted the club.
The ouster came as a surprise to Akiva, according to a rep who told The Post, “we were completely unaware.”
The club, which also had locations in London, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Tokyo and Dubai, opened at 453 West 17th St. in February 2007. Rihanna once held a Met Gala afterparty there and and Harvey infamously partied at 1OAK the night before failing to show up for a Mets game in May 2017.
By 2021, the rent increased to more than $72,000 a month — unpaid by the club, which didn’t return the premises to landlord N.E.W. Corp despite being closed, the landlord claimed in court papers.
Akiva’s camp insisted it had been working with the landlord to “find a solution” and reopen 1Oak.
“They’ve been properly evicted,” said N.E.W. Corp. attorney Steven Landy.
Akiva’s 17th Street Entertainment LLC had hauled in more than $1.52 million in federal Payment Protection Program loans in 2020 and 2021, but hasn’t had access to the cash in nearly two years because of a business dispute with corporate partner Katz Group, according to court records.
Thanks to the conflict with Katz, JP Morgan Chase froze the club’s accounts, leaving it with no way to pay the bills, said Akiva’s attorney, Julian Perlman.
“Richie has been trying to reopen these clubs and still hopes to do that, but you can’t do that when your bank unilaterally freezes your accounts, without a court order,” Perlman said. “10akNY could reopen tomorrow, as Richie has been trying to do, if it could just have access to its own money.”
Despite the club’s alleged financial woes, Akiva threw a huge New Year’s Eve party in St. Barts in January 2021. Hundreds of people packed into a three-floor private villa for the bash, which Akiva at the time described as a “very private, invite-only” event, Page Six reported.
Any events Akiva threw while 1Oak has been closed were paid for by sponsors, clients or were for charity, insisted a rep, who noted the St. Bart’s party had “absolutely nothing to do with 1Oak.”
Akiva, whose other Meatpacking District club, Up&Down on West 14th, also shuttered during the pandemic, has deep roots in the NYC nightlife scene. He launched the restaurant Butter in 2002, bringing in chef Alex Guarnaschelli, and his recent birthday bash drew names like Kevin Durant, Drake, Lil Nas X, G-Eazy, Giancarlo Stanton, rapper Badius, Scott Disick and Joan Smalls.
A pal of actor Leonardo DiCaprio, Akiva earlier this year opened private social club Societe, where memberships cost $30,000, a fee paid via an NFT, or non-fungible token.
He also runs Ned Nomad, an offshoot of Soho House founder Nick Jones’ London-based The Ned, a members-only club that charges $5,000 annually.
