One Registration Number but TWO Rooms Under The Same Address

So the City is only giving ONE Registration Number Per Host Per Address.  I have two rooms in the same apartment that I have been renting under Airbnb for over 13 yrs.  I applied for a Registration Number using the Listing ID for one of them thinking the number would apply to both rooms.  The system will only accept the number for the listing ID under which I applied, implying that I need a separate number for the other BUT the City says it is only giving ONE number Per Host Per Address, thinking that will prevent a host from having multiple listings at various addresses.

 

The upshot of which I cannot do short-term rentals in the other room - only 30-day rentals.  Surely there must be others like myself.  Airbnb didn't even seem aware of the problem.

 

I applied for my number on August 16 and after some back-and-forth, it was approved on November 22.

Hi @Waldemar36 , Did you happen to connect with other Hosts from NYC in this regards?

As Community Center is more of a global forum, it might be a bit difficult to specifically get in touch with NYC Hosts who may be able to help with any advice related to this situation.

If you may like, you can also get in touch with New York Hosts through our NYC Local Host Club here :
