Last month, Hotel Toshi, the short-term apartment rental network, took over the front building at 325 E. 10th Street... The various Hotel Toshi properties around the city have had plenty of run-ins with the city... And now 325 E. 10th St. is part of that elite club.... A tipster noted all sorts of NYC Buildings violations posted at 325 this morning...
Among the violations cited by the all-caps crew at the DOB: "OCCUPANCY CONTRARY TO DOB RECORDS,WORK DOES NOT CONFORMS TO APPROVED PLANS."
To be continued, for sure.
Hmm, what's the opening to that old song? Oh yeah..."Now - it begins - ".
ReplyDeleteI tried to get the Villager on this story but was roundly ignored by Lincoln Anderson. He'll jump on it in a year or so, no doubt.
Wow. The plans were obviously meant to hide what was really happening here. Is Toshi that arrogant or just plain stupid? (Maybe both?)
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd like to know is why they are allowed to continue to operate in any fashion at all. There are loads of complaints of Hotel Toshi's illegality yet here they are again..
