For a second time this week, city officials have said they found spaces that were illegally converted to house dozens of people.

On Wednesday, the FDNY discovered illegal living conditions in the basement and ground floor of a building on East Kingsbridge Road in the Bronx, the department said.

The city's Department of Buildings was called to the scene and found that one of the commercial stores in the building was illegally converted into sleeping quarters. There were 34 beds on the first floor and 11 beds in the basement that were tightly packed together, according to the department.

A separate illegally converted building with dozens of beds was found in Queens Monday.

A man who identified himself as the owner of a business who previously occupied the Queens building, Ebou Sarr, told NY1 that he had been renting the beds to migrants from countries including Senegal, Mauritania and Gambia.

The men, who have been living in the city for several months, approached Sarr for help, he said. Those who could afford it had been paying him $300 per month for accommodations, Sarr said.

During an interview with CBS New York Wednesday evening, Mayor Eric Adams said he believes the same person is responsible for both locations.

"We have been extremely clear. We need to allow people to take the next step. Those who exploit innocent people must be held accountable," Adams said.

Multiple electric bikes and batteries were being stored in the Bronx store, as well as extension cords, space heaters and hotplates, according to the DOB.

The DOB issued a vacate order for the store "due to the hazardous life threatening conditions, lack of natural light and ventilation, and severe overcrowding," the department said in a report.

The department also issued a vacate order for the basement and first floor of the Queens building, citing overcrowding and hazardous fire trap conditions.

The corporate landlord of the Bronx building was issued two violations for failure to maintain the building and for occupying the building contrary to city records.

Those who were staying in the Bronx building have been referred to the city Emergency Management department for further assistance, the DOB said.

The mayor on Wednesday blamed the federal government for the migrant crisis.

"What's really inhumane is what's happening on a federal level. The city didn't create this crisis. Not only is it a financial burden, but it's also a burden to the quality of life," Adams said in the CBS interview.

When asked if he still feels the Big Apple should be a sanctuary city, Adams said he is "a proud supporter of our immigrant population."

"What I don't support is people who exploit and are violent in our city. New Yorkers deserve better. Migrants and immigrants deserve better. No one should be the victim of violent crimes. If you do so, after you serve your time, you should be removed from our city," Adams said.
