It might have been a direct order. And that’s the great thing about the maze of federal, state, and local laws. There are millions of them. So you certainly can find one to justify whatever you want to do.

With shelter in place and quarantines they might not have had any business.
By allowing their rooms to become slimey pits for the homeless, they got some money per night/homeless person.
They probably have deep cleaning and retrofit payments guaranteed when their last homeless leave.
They probably have some great NY tax write offs!
They got contracts. They had no business due to the lockdown. They were desperate to stay alive.
$$$ - with everything shut down and vacancy at nearly 100% - housing the homeless with guaranteed government income seemed a reasonable way to forestall disaster.
GUILTY WHITE LIBERALS...
Don’t they have prohibitions against evictions? ....city, state, and federal??
Because they had no paying customers due to the shutdown. The City paid them plenty For each drifter and they will have made money even though they will have a lot of damage to repair after the lowlifes are put back out.
They were bullied into it by the homeless activists. Sit-ins, shaming sessions, nuisance lawsuits, leveraging hostile media, the usual.
