The hotel industry is at odds with the NYC Council over a new public safety and worker protection bill that critics say could possibly kill jobs and throw the Big Apple’s tourism economy into turmoil.” on July 18 which would require the city’s nearly 800 hotels to be licensed by the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection .

“The reason this is important is because it’s a public safety issue,” said Menin, a former DCWP commissioner. “There have been 39 murders in recent years at hotels.”Additionally, there have been more than 14,000 criminal complaints coming from hotels and motels over the previous five years, according to the NYPD.

Menin said that although most hotels in the Big Apple are safe, there are a few sites plagued by serious crimes such as human trafficking and drug use that cannot be shuttered without legal jurisLicensing would give the commissioner of DCWP discretion to give, deny or rescind hotel licenses when applicable.
