According to the New York Daily News, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn alleged this week that the building, located at 92 8th Avenue, was an "illegal hotel full of European tourists" -- a secret that she says was uncovered when the building was being evacuated.
As Sandy swept through New York City on Oct. 29, the facade of the 8th Avenue building had collapsed due to the force of the storm. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries; but as might be expected, the building was quickly evacuated.
