Update on the Lefferts Hotel?
We spent a lot of time talking about the problem-ridden Lefferts Hotel last summer and we haven’t heard much talk in the neighborhood since.

We spent a lot of time talking about the problem-ridden Lefferts Hotel last summer and we haven’t heard much talk in the neighborhood since. According to one commenter In last week’s discussion of the near-by Broken Angel, things have not improved:
The stipulation agreement entered into by the City and the Prince Hotel Group is killing the Lefferts Hotel; he can’t make any money as a legitimate business concern. The place is dead and appears on the brink of shutting down. At the same time, property values are soaring all around the hotel and this section of Clinton Hill. If there was every a good time to get Mr. Fried to sell this beautiful building it is now.
What can other residents of Lefferts Place tell us about recent problems with the hotel? Why wouldn’t the owner, Moses Fried, be dying to sell? He could make a lot of dough and free himself of numerous headaches.

Yes, it’s truly bizarre. He badmouths PLG to no end, then comes to this thread to talk about how fantastic it is that the Lefferts Hotel is closed down. What a jerk.
Half the posts on this thread can be attributed to the same lowlife scum bucket troll who pops up on the PLG threads. What a loser. No one engage this miserably little twerp for the rest of the day. Eventually after a nice bath, warm bottle of milk and diaper change, he’ll fall asleep.
In the 70’s parkslope was filled with hookers and ps 321 was a school filled with knuckle heads. Just ask the older citzens they will tell you.
Change will continue to happen one “hood” at a time. Let’s take the race card out the game.
Ok, so if you are against crackheads and prostituion you belong to the KKK.
HMmmm. I dont really know what to make of that.
If I am not a bigot i will leave the scum where it is. I imagine this attitude would offend black people but that probably makes me a racist too.
I’m the poster at 11:40 and 12:09 and I’m black you freak’n moron!
Moses, posting a weblink to a white supremist website doesn’t strengthen your argument. You are a racist of rare form. At 75 yrs of age, you are so old school that you cannot even comprehend that black people would want to live in a safe, clean and healthy environment. But why would I expect anything different. You are one of the most notorious slumlords in NYC and your real estate holdings comprise primarily of rat infested tenements in poor black neighborhoods. Because of your hardcore racist views you automatically assume that local activists are white when in fact they are black. You failed to win the battle at Lefferts because you grossly underestimated your opponent and were looking left when you should’ve been looking right. Nothing like a Mike Tyson right haymaker to the head when your opponent is looking for a left jab!
TKO, Moses. It’s lights out.

This neighborhood will never go back to the crack/whorehouse days that kept your hotel thriving for many years while the broader community suffered. Those days are over for good! The dealers are gone and so are the pimps and hookers. And no matter how much you beg for the good old days to return, they will never ever come back!
Take your scum to Gravesend and leave the good people of Clinton Hill alone.
I live in Park Slope and would give ANYTHING if someone would open a prostitution hotel here.
David Tepper is that you at 11:06AM? Or is it Moses Fried? Either way, you guys are some soulless, pathetic and desperate human beings. You’ve done no service to your situation today. In fact, you’ve probably done more harm than good. All of Brooklyn now knows what you did to this community and how much you resent the positive change that’s occurring in this neighborhood. I know the Lefferts Hotel was a great cash cow and you had not expected the community to change this quickly but at last all “good” things must come to an end (in your case bitter). But you made a lot of money off of the pain and suffering of families in this community. Now is the time to move on. We will not stop and rest until you have been driven out of this neighborhood. We will continue to call 911 whenever the hotel runs afoul of the stipulation agreement, we will continue to call 311 and report every single DOB, DEP and Sanitation violation at the hotel and we will continue to press the State, City, Dept of Finance and the IRS to investigate your finances and illegal dealings. In time, we hope to put every single principal of the Prince Hotel Group behind bars. Why should the hookers and dealers go to jail but you guys get off with a slap on the wrist? You have destroyed families in this community and for this offense you will pay and pay dearly.
“I agree. It is an improvement–for you. Not for some other unfortunate souls, though.”
WHich souls are the unfortunate ones? The people in the other areas with 2 prostitution hotels and a methadone clinic nearby or the addicts, dealers, and whores themselves?
