\n A Kew Gardens \u201cflop house\u201d hotel has neighbors and elected officials up in arms \u2014 and they want City Hall to do something about it.<\/p>\n

The Umbrella Hotel on Queens Boulevard was supposed to be an upscale hotel with luxury rentals when it opened its doors in 2017 but has instead lapsed into a cut-rate hotel with cheap rentals that have turned the neighborhood upside down, locals and officials told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t our nice little neighborhood anymore,\u201d neighbor Charles Foehner said. \u201cPeople come down the block and key a car as they pass it. Drug deals are going on in the lobby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSix weeks ago two people got shot, and not even a week ago they came by \u2014 and I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s auto or semi-auto or full-auto fire, I don\u2019t know \u2014 but someone shot at the hotel,\u201d Foehner said. \u201cThis is not how I want my neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

One neighbor said parties can go on until 6 a.m., with revelers even tossing bottles from the building.<\/p>\n

Locals aired their gripes during an emergency meeting at Queens Borough Hall Thursday, where several elected officials joined the chorus of complaints.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are renting rooms and holding parties and turning the hotel into an unofficial nightclub,\u201d state Assemblyman Daniel Rosenthal (D-Queens) who convened the meeting. \u201cWe should close the hotel down.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he and other elected leaders would write Mayor Bill de Blasio demanding action.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need the mayor to take this problem seriously,\u201d Rosenthal said. \u201cThere\u2019s been two shootings in two months. I don\u2019t know what else has to happ<\/a>en.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a local resident who asked not to be identified, the project was first pitched in 2008 as a mixed-use building \u2014 but it never materialized. Instead, the building became a hotel that went through several incarnations, from Hotel Louie, to a Comfort-Inn, and eventually the Umbrella.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when things went south, she said in a letter on the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the (coronavirus) pandemic began and tourism has bottomed out, the owners have repurposed the hotel into a flophouse for raucous, noisy all-night parties which last until 6 a.m.,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe revelers hang out of the windows in the early morning hours screaming.\u201d<\/p>\n

A manager at the hotel declined to comment.<\/p>\n

The property\u2019s listed owner, Gus Karayianis, and officials in the mayor\u2019s office did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to a request for comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
