Council Member Farías inquires about DCWP's role in regulating or managing patterns of sex trafficking in hotels. Commissioner Vilda Vera Mayuga clarifies that DCWP does not handle these issues directly.

  • DCWP does not receive or handle complaints related to sex trafficking in hotels
  • The commissioner suggests that NYPD or another agency might be better equipped to address this issue
  • It's implied that sex trafficking regulation falls outside DCWP's jurisdiction
