The Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan, once the symbol of New York City’s migrant crisis, is laying off nearly all of its employees as the city moves to end its use as a shelter and intake center.
The former luxury hotel disclosed the move in a notice filed this week with the state’s Department of Labor, citing “contract termination” as the reason.
