NYC's Efforts To Move Men Out Of Lucerne Hotel Homeless Shelter Delayed Again

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- There's another temporary reprieve for the men living at an Upper West Side hotel that was turned into a homeless shelter.

An appeals panel granted a stay on behalf of three residents at the Lucerne Hotel.

The move blocks the forced relocation of the men for the length of the appeal, which could take six months or longer.
