 Dwivedi mentioned that he had owned the property since 2002 and claimed that his actions were driven by a desire to assist individuals experiencing various forms of physical pain, including back pain, shoulder pain, leg pain, and hand pain. Many of his tenants were long-term residents, and some of them depended on the motel as their primary housing option, especially after experiencing homelessness. However, the consequences of Dwivedi's actions are far-reaching. The Uptown Motel is now scheduled for demolition in the near future, leaving its residents with a 60-day eviction notice.

A man says that he was selling pain pills to help his tenants – he owns an old motel that serves as a home to the homeless, but now the whole building is scheduled to be demolished
A motel owner was forced to take a plea deal and give up his property in order to avoid jail time – but he argues that the ‘crime’ he committed was helping the county’s unhoused population.
After a year-long investigation into Dilavar ‘David’ Dwivedi, the owner and manager of the Uptown Motel in Scottsville, he has agreed to forfeit ownership of the property. This has allowed the city to serve a 60-day notice to all of the tenants.
Almost all of Dwivedi’s tenants were homeless before he had them move into the property. He became the subject of a police investigation when it was discovered that Dwivedi was selling pain medication to tenants.
As part of this agreement, Dwivedi will avoid serving any jail time. Dwivedi openly admitted that he had been involved in the illicit sale of pain pills from the motel for the past year.
