City Councilwoman Gale Brewer has introduced legislation that would impose fines up to $25,000 on illegal hotels. The legislation would reclassify any illegal hotels with more than one violation or with repeat violations as "immediately hazardous," resulting in a fine of between $1,000 and $25,000 (current fine: $800), plus another $1,000/day if the hotel stays open.
