Local pols ‘pleased’ that Prince Hotel is up for auction June 8
Gentile: ‘Prince Has Been an Albatross; Nobody Will Be Sorry to See it Go’
Bay Ridge’s elected officials could hardly contain their glee at the news that a fleabag hotel that one lawmaker called “an albatross around the area’s quality of life,” will soon be changing owners.
The Prince Hotel at 315 93rd St., which came to the attention of Mayor Bill de Blasio when Community Board 10 Vice Chairman Doris Cruz implored him at a town hall last month to do something to get rid of the drug dealers and vagrants congregating there, is going to be sold at an auction by order of the city.
The auction will take place on June 8 at the Kings County Sheriff’s Office, 210 Joralemon St., Room 909, at 1 p.m.
