City Council overwhelmingly passes controversial bill requiring licenses for NYC hotels

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on October 23, 2024

New York City hotel owners will soon be required to obtain licenses in order to operate within the five boroughs under legislation passed by the City Council on Wednesday.

The 51-member council passed the bill, known as the “Safe Hotels Act,” by an overwhelming 45 to 4 votes, with one abstention, during an Oct. 23 meeting. City Council Member Julie Menin (D-Manhattan), the bill’s prime sponsor, said she is confident that Mayor Eric Adams will sign it into law. The mayor supports the bill, according to mayoral spokesperson Amaris Cockfield.
