Elk Hotel 42nd and 9th

[lofter1]

... the building had been sold to landlord Martin Sanders at Mollaney Investments ...

In NYC his type is called a SCUM Lord. By cutting off essential services to protected tenants he's practicing Harassment.

And "Mollaney Investments" appears to be a BS dummy corporation name.

Owner info, found in the public records of DOB for 360 W 42nd:

Owner: Martin Sanders, General Manager
578 Ninth Avenue Associates, LLC
Phone: 212-307-0887
12 WEST 57TH STREET
NEW YORK NY 10019

Signature Bank (which gave him the recent $3,100,000 loan) should be interested that he's in violation of the law. Given the specifics of the mortgage agreement (also public record at DOF) the bank could have liability, too.

Are there any new news on the no-tell motel?

That place was just as disgusting there as it was when it was across the street.
The clientele also not the savoriest.
I'm all for nostalgia and whatever but...good riddance!
And that's from a 30+ year resident of the neighborhood.
I'm still pissed about Stiles, but the pizza joint reopened right next to this dump, and the meat market
(although slightly more expensive and cramped), reopened just a block or so away from where it was.
