Quick Question Regarding Short-Term Rentals in One or Two Family NYC Homes

Quick Question Regarding Short-Term Rentals in One or Two Family NYC Homes

I am a homeowner here in Brooklyn of a legal two-family townhouse. My understanding is that the laws in NYC make it illegal for Air B&B hosts who reside in Class A multiple dwellings -- buildings designed for three or more families -- to list their apartment for rentals of less than 30 days. Does anyone know if this also pertains to owners like myself, who have stand-alone single or two-family residences? Thanks in advance for any insight here.

you are not sure it is fully illegal,nys law say single or two familly could do STR. but I dont know nyc can supperceed that law.Riddiculous selucus!!!

you can’t do that airbnb must withdraw the full monthly amount from the visitors

it is legal since you are short term host for house not the apt. That ruke applies for apt not the house
