The old St. George Hotel in Brooklyn had its awning collapse, blocking sections of Henry Street and leading to MTA train reroutes. Anna Ziegler and her child, unaware of the situation, highlighted the reactive nature of city safety measures. New York City Transit president Demetrius Crichlow indicated a recent property inspection prompted action but limited their responsibility. Local councilmember Lincoln Restler criticized the LLC managing the hotel for poor maintenance, referring to the subway stop as grimy with a sewage smell, emphasizing the building's neglect overall.
"It feels like we're only fixing things after the fact instead of discovering things that need fixing ahead of time, which is scary."
"The St. George has been a bad landlord... There's a consistent stench of sewage. It's grimy, it's filthy."
