Less than 24 hours after Mayor Bill de Blasio promised “aggressive enforcement” against the Prince Hotel – an alleged hotbed of drugs, prostitution and violence in the neighborhood — the New York City’s Sheriff’s Office dropped by for its payout.
According to Community Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann, the Sheriff’s Office (by order of the mayor) descended upon the building, located at 315 93rd Street, on Wednesday evening, February 17 in an effort to collect thousands upon thousands of dollars owed by the business.
