January 9 and there is no video discovered eight days later on Local panel to clean up Prince Hotel BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK MMCGOLDRICKBROOKLYNREPORTER.COM With the opening of a universal pre-k on the same block as an alleged hotbed of sex, drugs and violence fast approaching, Community Board 10 is doubling down on its commitment to clean up the infamous Prince Hotel. Chair Doris Cruz announced at the board’s January 30 general meeting that the neighborhood’s newly formed Prince Hotel Task Force – made up of members of the board, representatives of local electeds, and various other city o cials – met for the fi rst time on Friday, January 27, in hopes of bettering both the notorious establishment, and the block on which it is located. The nearby pre-school – a three-story structure that will serve close to 150 students at 369 93rd Street – is still under construction at the old site of Hamilton Medical Associates, with plans to open come September. “We as a board made a commitment to clean up that block in order to have a pre-school there,” said Cruz, stressing that the task force agreed upon taking a three-pronged approach to cleaning up the Prince which includes increased police patrol, better coordination with involved agencies and open communication with residents of the block. “The 68th Precinct will assign an offi cer there when it has the manpower,” she said of the fi rst prong, “and they will continue that, and they will increase that.” From there, she said, the precinct – as well as the task force – will work hand in hand with o cers from the NYPD’s special narcotics division on some of the drug problems at the Prince pertaining to perps with prior convictions and long-term histories. The group will also work with the Mayor’s O ce of Special Enforcement to secure a meeting with the owner of the Prince so that he may better understand the community’s concerns. Finally, the task force plans to meet with local residents sometime next month, in hopes of inspiring the neighbors to keep fi ghting. “A lot of these residents have been The Prince Hotel has been the center of controversy. fi ghting against the Prince Hotel for years, and they’re tired,” said Cruz. “They’re saying things like, ‘I’ve been calling for 10 years and nothing’s changed. I’m not calling anymore.’ We want to encourage them to keep calling.” The Sheri ’s O ce fi rst descended upon the hotel in February of last year – less than 24 hours a er Mayor Bill de Blasio promised “aggressive enforcement” against the hostelry at a Bay Ridge town hall meeting. From there, the site was poised to be sold at BROOKLYN MEDIA GROUP/ le photo auction, until its owner – Moses Fried – fi led suit against the mayor’s o ce, putting the Prince in a legal limbo that is still pending. According to Community Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann, as of February last year, Fried had accumulated a whopping $400,000 in fi nes for violations on his property – located at 315 93rd Street – dating back as far as 1995. “We are very dedicated to continuing the e orts to clean up that block,” concluded Cruz.
