Hi, Does anyone else own a fractional interest or a timeshare in NYC? I sometimes stay in my timeshare in New York, and some years I rent out my timeshare. What I own is actually a fractional interest in a major hotel in midtown.
AirBnB is giving me a major run-around, closing out tickets before resolved, having people from foreign countries calling or messaging me who do not knowing what a timeshare is, or a hotel is, or what Class B means. I explain my property is officially on the Class B listing so is EXEMPT, so do not need any kind of registration. AirBnB insisted I did, so I applied with NY, and paid the $147.90 fee, although I should never have had to do this. Not sure how long it will take to hear back, but I am sure the OSE NYC Mayor's Office is going to be wondering why I applied when my address is already on the Class B exempt list.
Anyone understand why AirBnB is blocking all Class B building listings for NYC? Right now my listing says I have to rent out 30 day minimum stays, but my timeshare is for 1-2 weeks per year maximum. They keep telling me to get a registration number, but Class B buildings do not require any registration number.
Seems like I am dealing with a lot of people who do not have a clue what they are doing at AirBnB, don't live in the US, and do not care. They just keep sending me useless links, telling me it's my problem, and then closing out tickets.
