safety concern and deactivated listing and Airbnb customer service

I would love some advice on this. I am struggling with a slow response from Airbnb. I had a guest report a safety concern almost two weeks after she stayed with us. She received a shock when using the stove. I met with her right away. I was concerned and worried about her. Despite that, we had a really good connection and other than that I think it was a positive experience. We received a 5 star review. The day she reported the issue, she reached out to me through Airbnb messaging and again we had a good conversation. The next day I received an email from Airbnb asking me to respond within 24hours and provide documentation before my account could be reactivated. I did everything that day that they asked for. My electrician gave me documentation for them. Here is is almost a week later and too many phones calls to Airbnb to count. I do not know why am not receiving the "promised updates" and why this is taking so long. Anyone have advice or experience something similar? I'm at my wits end!

It usually takes 10 business days for a listing issue to be resolved by the Specialized Team. 

Thank you. That is helpful. I’m worried about the guests that had already booked and how that effects them.

It should not unless Airbnb has removed your listing...

 

They usually only block the calendar to prevent future bookings until they have made a decision on reactivation. If the issue is egregious enough, they may suspend the listing entirely and cancel your current bookings.
