70 Lefferts Hostel Gets Partial Vacate Order

Earlier this year a tipster told us the big yellow house at 70 Lefferts was operating as a hostel; they’ve followed up to tell us it has been since vacated. DOB shows a partial vacate order and full stop work order for “illegally converted rooms into transient hostel without providing required means of egress, fire alarm.” The hostel’s website is still up but you can’t book a date. If you recall, this home was landmarked after the threat of demolition and just hung out on the market after that. Who knows what’s next….

Per Curbed, there’s now an option for folks who are priced out of Williamsburg’s Hotel Le Jolie: The New York Loft Hostel on Varet Street. The hostel offers accommodations for less than $30 a night in its dorm spaces, bunk bed and wi-fi included. A pool and jacuzzi are on the way.
