WHCA President Sends Letter to Supervisor Murray Regarding Criminal Activity at Courtesy and Capri July 2008
WHCA President Sends Letter to Supervisor Murray Regarding Criminal Activity at Courtesy and Capri
July 2008 letter to sent to Supervisor Murray from Civic president:
Dear Supervisor Murray,
This is another letter detailing the police activities at the Courtesy Hotel. Hopefully, if everyone is working to get rid of the Courtesy Hotel, this should be my last letter. All of us know the problems associated with the Hotel, but sadly none of us ever expected that the sale of the Courtesy to Trammell Crow would meet with such resistance from the Town.
Crime has not taken a vacation and the figures for July are appalling. As mentioned in prior letters and it bears repeating, when will this end? Below are the figures for the number of times, during 2008, that the police had to respond to calls to the Courtesy Hotel and the results of those calls:
Jan. 08: 17 calls 8 arrests 18 case reports 2 field investigations
Feb. 08 21 " 4 " 4 " " 2 " "
Mar. 08 8 " 2 " 6 " " 0
Apr. 08 18 " 3 " 5 " " 6 disturbances
May 08 20 " 3 " 6 " " 3 field investigations
June 08 13 " 2 " 4 " " 5 disturbances
July 08 22 calls 6 arrests 5 case reports
08'Total: 119 calls 28 arrests 44 case reports 7 field invest.
11 disturbances
On January 2, 2006 the Town completed its Blight Study for the 72 room Courtesy Hotel.
In 2006, the police responded to 200 calls to the Courtesy resulting in 62 arrests.
In 2007, there were over 200 calls which resulted in 77 arrests and 108 case reports.
As of July 31, 2008, there has been 119 calls, 28 arrests and 44 case reports.
The total number of calls, arrests and case reports in the 943 days since Jan. 2006 to July 2008 is staggering:
519 calls 167 arrests over 200 case reports
Arrests have been made for drugs, prostitution, rape, statutory rape, kidnapping, weapons possession, assault, etc.
Once again, I must ask on behalf of our residents, when will the decision be made which will result in the private sale of the Courtesy and the permanent removal of this business from West Hempstead? How much longer must we wait to benefit from the private sale and redevelopment of this property?
