Nehalkumar Gandhi, doing business as an anonymous North Bergen, N.J.-based LLC, has filed applications for a seven-story, 57-key hotel at 314 Pennsylvania Avenue, in northwestern East New York. The project will measure 24,290 square feet and its hotel rooms should average a budget-sized 297 square feet apiece. Guest amenities include a breakfast area, a fitness center, and a reception area. Manish S. Savani’s Jamaica-based architecture firm is the architect of record. The 50-foot-wide, 5,000-square-foot plot is currently occupied by a two-story house. Demolition permits were filed in August. The Liberty Avenue stop on the C train is four blocks to the north.

I’m pleasure that I read the latest details, seven-story success at East New York as hotel.
That’s a weird place for hotel but I guess that means genetirification is coming to East NY
Michael, most of these “Hotels” end up being homeless shelters for families in the outer boroughs, there’s some kind of incentive for developers to do this because the city will fill the vacancies. See this link http://www.wsj.com/articles/new-york-city-relies-on-motels-to-house-homeless-1472420146
