A full vacate order was issued for this building on August 5, 2009. The department of buildings has deemed the building structually compromised stemming from construction next door, and has ordered it demolished. Representatives of the tenants have gone to Housing Court in hopes the building can be salvaged. The building was demolished October 2009.

The owner of the hotel, who also owns 128 Hester was cited for failure to maintain. [1,2,3,4]
