I live in a 1 family 3 bedroom Landmark townhouse in LIC Queens.
I rent out the ground floor bedroom for guests from Airbnb. Which is totally legal.
I did not remove a rental unit fr the NYC market. Im simply sharing a room in my house.
This afternoon, I had a team of NYC Inspectors knock on my door and ask to inspect the premises, as there was (for the second time) a 311 anonymous complaint that I was using my place as "a Hotel".
Upon inspection , they found no illegalities in my set-up, except that I listed my room as a place for up to 4 people .
They said that I couldnt do that anymore....and that I could only rent the room to a max of 2 people.
That means that now I can't rent to couples w/ 2 kids.
Is that legal?
Does anyone know the rules of this?
Thanks
