Editor’s Note: In an earlier version of this story, we incorrectly reported that 3600 Bailey Avenue was a residential building in Van Cortlandt Village. In fact, it is the address of the Deegan Motel in Kingsbridge Heights, as updated in the latest version of this story. We apologize for the earlier miscommunication.
