This building was operating as an "illegal hotel"
From the article:
"Time to check out.
The city raided an apartment in hipster Brooklyn last week that had been operating as an illegal hotel thru Airbnb and other websites, sending several unlucky out-of-towners scrambling for places to stay.
The Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement — which just had its budget nearly doubled in order to crack down on illegal hotels — busted 210 Cook St. in East Williamsburg on Tuesday after receiving complaints about it through 311.
MAYOR DE BLASIO PUTS AIRBNB ON NOTICE
Inspectors found a brightly colored loft space — complete with wall murals, Ikea-style furniture and lots of potted plants — that had been converted into an eight-room hotel.
Guests would punch a code into a keypad at the door to get into the space, which was divided into cubbyholes marked 1 through 8."
A stairwell in the building
Barren hallway with grunge decor in the building
