I only host 30 days, still having issue in NYC

I need help with my issue and need additional clarity.

I only host 30 days or more and have preferences set to 30 days. 

I just looked up my building is on the NYC prohibited list from short term rentals ONLY and it seems my building is now listed where short-term rental registrations are not permitted. So I cannot register at all.
 
Does that mean my building is allowed to prohibit me from hosting for 30 days or more?
 
I thought I was exempt because I host 30 days or more even though my building is listed to prohibit short term rental hosting
 
If I am exempt because I follow the 30 day rule, Airbnb won't listen to me and won't re-list my private room. 

They keep telling me to register & they don't understand that my building is prohibited for short term rentals only, so I can't even register if I wanted to. 
 
And the other confusion is they are letting me proceed with my upcoming 30 day rental bookings on their website for Dec - May 2024. So they see I am legal for 30 days or more, they have sent me a long term stay only email being recognized by Airbnb.
 
Why won't they relist me?

@Jennifer298 

This is definitely a confusing one. Were you able to get some clarification on this? 

If you're still looking, you could perhaps join your local Host Club.

@Sophia353@Elisabeth40, @Peter3990, and @Galla9 are also New York Hosts! Perhaps they can stop by and offer some advice if they have some experience navigating this 😊
