Judge orders Park Slope assisted living facility service restored as case winds through court
Rules DOH closure plan of Prospect Park Residence invalid
On Monday, a contempt hearing against a Park Slope assisted living facility’s owner was pushed back until after the holidays by a Brooklyn judge. The owner has allegedly been cutting back on services to seniors in an attempt to deliver an empty building to developers.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Wayne Saitta ordered Haysha Deitsch, owner of the Prospect Park Residence, to restore services during this interval, or face contempt charges.
On Friday, the judge had ruled that the state Department of Health’s closure plan was invalid.
