Some workers at a hotel for migrants in Midtown Manhattan tell Eyewitness News they feel unsafe at the hotel due to migrants cooking in the rooms and what they said is a lack of oversight of migrants who are supposed to be isolating for infectious disease
"The stress is crazy," said Felipe Rodriguez, who works in the housekeeping department at The Row hotel.
Another housekeeping attendant who spoke with Eyewitness News said she has to notify security every day about cooking devices in the rooms. Eyewitness News obtained a picture of the list of room numbers where migrants are supposed to be isolating for 21 days due to the possibility of having infectious diseases.
"I've witnessed them come out the room when it was a quarantine room and they're not supposed to do that," she said. "They're not holding any accountability," Rodriguez said of the city. "They're not really supervising this the way they should." Rodriguez said hotel workers have been instructed not to speak with the migrants about potential issues. He described the working environment as "hostile."
