East Village residents sue to halt NYC’s ‘rushed’ opening of homeless men’s intake center in neighborhood

An East Village neighborhood group and several residents sued the Mamdani administration on Monday to stop the opening of a new city men’s intake center at 8 East 3rd St., saying the plan was rushed forward without enough public review.

The case, filed on April 20 in the state Supreme Court in Manhattan, asks a judge to halt the project before its planned May 1 opening.
