NEW YORK — Migrants who have been living at a Hell’s Kitchen hotel say they are living in worrying conditions, with not enough food for hungry children, a lack of responsiveness from social service workers and — with temperatures dropping into the upper 40s these last few days — no heat.
While many are glad to have a roof to sleep under, The News spoke to more than dozen residents who say they haven’t been provided with basic necessities. In addition to the lack of heat, residents say they are served moldy food and don’t have Wi-Fi in the hotel.
“It’s really cold right now because they haven’t fixed the heaters yet,” said Karen Montoya, 22, the mother of a 4-month-old girl who came to U.S. six months ago from Venezuela.
