CLARKSTOWN, NY — A Clarkstown property owner is accused of running a 'migrant flophouse' at 245 New Hempstead Road.

"We’ve never seen a situation this dire," Town Supervisor George Hoehmann said at a news conference Monday.

More than 30 immigrants, including children, were living in the 4-bedroom, 1,552 sq ft house, he said. Some had arrived as recently as two weeks ago, some were planning to move on shortly. More than 10 more were expected to arrive this week, he said.

"In essence, this was like a migrant flophouse," Hoehmann said.

The town is taking the property owner, Shloima Koppel of Monsey, to court, Hoehmann said.

Moreover, he said, "We believe this is organized. We believe there are people behind this from the state."

Hoehmann called the house "the canary in the mine," saying he suspected there were many more places like it in Rockland.  MORE AT Clarkstown Accuses Property Owner Of Running 'Migrant Flophouse' | New City, NY Patch
