A judge has ordered a controversial Massapequa motel to temporarily shut down.
The Town of Oyster Bay previously filed a lawsuit for The Budget Inn Motel on Carmen Mill Road from operating as a motel or hotel, claiming that the facility violated town code.
The judge, however, did allow the motel to continue housing people sent there by the Nassau County Department of Social Services.
The Budget Inn Motel has been the site of several crimes, including a knifepoint robbery and a weapons arrest.
