New York City Short Term Rentals for 1 and 2 family homes

Hi,

Does anyone know why these type of dwellings are being targeted by the city?


What is going to happen after registering with the city? 
Do we have to remove our listing? Do we have to cancel our reservations?

THIS IS DEVASTATING.  I DEPEND ON THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME TO PAY MY MORTGAGE. 
I am a retired teacher and STRs is the best way for me to protect my investment. 
Aside from writing comments, participating in the hearings and send emails to the mayor, what else can we do? 
I have written to different officials and received zero replies.

Hello,

 

I live in New York .  I own a co-op and my board elected to put my building on the no short-term rental listings.  It means I will not be able to register or do Airbnb.  I work currently but the e tea money really helped.  If you have any updates on this or how we can fight this interference e, that would be great.

Hey Silvia247,

I am

on the same boat. I am

unable to rent my 2bd property because the mayor wants to have control

over it. I applied for the rental permit and after 3 months of applying, I received a letter stating that I cannot rent the entire property, that I have to live there. Mind you, I paid the application fee. NYC is becoming a dictatorship city. Even if you own the property they want to control you. Unfortunately,  if this matter is not resolved, I will be got rd to loose
