City looking to force sale of Prince Hotel
Building has amassed $400,000 in violations
In the wake of a raid of the notorious Prince Hotel in Bay Ridge, the New York City Department of Finance is seeking to force the sale of the building.
The sale would take place to pay off the debts that the hotel’s owner owes the city from hundreds of thousands of dollars in violations the building has been hit with over the past 21 years, officials said.
“The Department of Finance is preparing the appropriate writs of execution commanding the sheriff to sell the building to satisfy the outstanding debt owed to the city,” Councilmember Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) told the Brooklyn Eagle on Wednesday.
