Mayor denies connection between migrant discovery in Queens storefront and shelter limits

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on February 27, 2024

Mayor Eric Adams insisted Tuesday that an incident where dozens of people, believed to be migrants, were discovered living in a cramped Queens storefront had nothing to do with his policies to move newcomers out of shelters.

The incident took place Monday afternoon, when inspectors with the FDNY and city Department of Buildings (DOB) found more than 70 individuals residing on the first floor and in the basement of an illegally converted South Richmond Hill building, according to city officials. Inspectors came to the property following a 311 complaint regarding e-bikes in the backyard, officials said.
