For those who see the headline and think wow a bit stiff, this wasn't their first time cheating: The city first sued the Lees in 2014 for evicting tenants, including a disabled person, from one of their properties to rent the spaces on Airbnb. The Lees settled that case for $276,000 and agreed to an injunction against further vacation rentals in their 17 properties. Basically they got caught before paid small fine, and then just got back in the business.
