The first New York City homicide of 2021 occurred at the Umbrella Hotel, highlighting the issue of illegal activities in certain hotels.
Hotels like Umbrella Hotel and others are able to host criminal activities for years without facing scrutiny or being shut down due to lack of oversight and regulation.
Unlike various businesses in NYC, hotels do not require a license to operate, leading to challenges in monitoring and preventing criminal activities.
District Attorney Darcel Clark emphasized the importance of regulating hotels to hold them accountable for criminal activities happening on their premises.
