Four Queens lawmakers are calling on the city to terminate its contract with the Wyndham Hotel in Fresh Meadows, which has been used to house more than 100 released detainees from Rikers Island during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last week, Congresswoman Grace Meng, Senator Toby Ann Stavisky, Assemblywoman Nily Rozic and Councilwoman Linda Lee sent a letter to Mayor Eric Adams and to New York City Comptroller Brad Lander demanding the contract be terminated and the hotel return to its original use.
