Airbnb already has a whole lot of listings out there lying about the address because the people that put the apartment for rent don't want the building association to know that they are renting. They often just claim that the apartments for rent is in an office building in the same block.
Therefore, Airbnb doesn't really verify addresses at all, and lets people bypass any system that relies on this. This happens in major markets where Airbnb has people on site too: A good chunk of listings in San Francisco's SoMa are doing this.
Thus, I have little faith that any system to prevent breaking local laws based on addresses will go anywhere unless Airbnb does a lot more work to verify the accuracy of listings.
