NY S05651

Defines "hotel" in the Bronx as any building regularly used for lodging guests with 10 or more rooms, including apartment hotels, motels, boarding houses, and clubs.

Requires hotel owners to file notice with the city planning commission and community board before establishment, including location, floor plans, architectural renderings, room count, and a financial viability plan.

Mandates the city planning commission hold a public community forum between 45-90 days after notice, with at least 20 days advance notice to the community and local board, to discuss the hotel's impact and potential for criminal activities.

Requires the commission to approve or deny authorization within 60-90 days after the forum, evaluating the financial plan and the hotel's ability to remain economically viable without facilitating prostitution, drug sales, or stolen property trafficking.

Grants the commission authority to revoke, rescind, or conditionally suspend a hotel's authorization if it is demonstrated the hotel has systematically allowed criminal activities on its premises.
