NYPD clears out dozens of ‘unlawful’ delivery bikes from front of Roosevelt Hotel shelter

Dozens of delivery bikes parked outside The Roosevelt Hotel have been cleared away by NYPD as part a stepped-up crackdown on unregistered and illegal mopeds and e-bikes across the city, The Post has learned.

The landmark hotel in Midtown near Grand Central Terminal, which was converted last year to a shelter for migrants, also became a high-profile hotspot for illegal bikes last fall.

In recent months, an unsightly hodgepodge of parked bikes routinely confronted pedestrians on East 46th Street along the block stretching between Madison and Vanderbilt Avenues.

The parked bikes — which by one estimate could number as many as 75 at any given time — had been mostly used for food deliveries, but they were either not registered with the city or illegally parked, according to an NYPD spokesperson.

“There have been numerous operations over time to remove unlawful, unregistered, or improperly stored mopeds/bikes/etc. at this location,” the NYPD Deputy Commissioner, Public Information said in a statement.

DCPI did not disclose when it removed the bikes in front of the hotel, but local businesses said it was within the past few weeks.
