WEEKENDEDITION Following the Salvation Army’s controversial decision to sell its Williams Memorial Residence on the Upper West Side for $100 million, the faith-based organization is being accused of illegally renting rooms to seniors.

The Department of Buildings issued the violation Wednesday, after Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer called on City Hall to investigate the organization, according to the New York Daily News.

“This is huge, it’s really huge,” Brewer said of the illegal rentals. “You have to obey the law.”
