Appeals court paves the way for homeless shelter in ‘Billionaires’ Row’
NY Post
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s planned homeless shelter smack in the middle of Midtown Manhattan’s “Billionaires’ Row” can proceed, New York state’s highest court has ruled.
For three years, a group of local residents have stalled the shelter, which the city planned to open at West 58th Street’s former Park Savoy Hotel. They sued in 2018 on the grounds that a shelter at the century-old building would be a safety hazard. On Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals found that a lower appeals court “erred” in sending the case back for a hearing to determine whether the shelter — which is set to house 150 homeless men — would be up to safety and welfare standards, according to the decision.More Related News
