NYC vacates another commercial property housing migrants
City inspectors cleared a Bronx juice bar where migrants were being unlawfully housed Wednesday, just two days after vacating a furniture store in Queens – run by the same man – that was partially being used as a residence for dozens of West African migrants, according to fire officials and the business owner.
‘They’re taking people out of there in the Bronx,” Sarr told Gothamist in a phone call. “Right now they’re on top of me.” Department of Building spokesperson Ryan Degan said inspectors found 34 beds on the commercial space’s first floor and 11 “tightly packed together” in the basement, along with extension cords, space heaters and hot plates.
Sarr, 48, previously said he was trying to help migrants who would otherwise be staying on the streets.
