NYC cracking down on illegal AirBnBs -- (link*) - znufrii Jan 26, 06:10 10
- sure, Jan (LA supposedly cracked down on them several years ago but nobody believes they did it with any teeth). also, airbnb is fucking evil -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jan 26, 08:08 1

  - I wouldn't rent an airbnb where the host is also there. -- nm - Mop Jan 26, 07:08 4
    - I don’t think it means that the host has to be present during the rental, just that they are a bona fide resident of the property. -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 26, 07:23 2
      - Well there's the legal room. I assume the ordinance says specifically how long you have to "reside" in a place to be considered a resident? -- nm - Mop Jan 26, 07:47 1
        
        Probably? I know residency for city income tax purposes is based on whether you are in NYC a majority of the days of the year. -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 26, 07:56
