Several local politicians held a press conference outside the Hotel Chelsea today to denounce the changes Joseph Chetrit is making to the hotel. State Senator Tom Duane, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, New York State Assembly Member Richard Gottfried, and CB 4 Chairman Corey Johnson spoke about Chetrit's alleged mistreatment of the current tenants. Questions were also raised about what the rooftop addition is going to be used for, the speculation being that it will be some sort of bar/nightclub. [Chelsea Hotel Blog]
