It doesn't sound like they have a realistic plan to enforce the 90 day limit. This strange right of action for 5 year old non-profits, that can only seek an injunction and can only go after some subset of violators does not seem like it will be very useful.
They should have created a private right of action sounding in nuisance, with damages available, and open to any affected party. And maybe a loser pays provision.
- pyrophane 12y agoThat is a shame. We technically already have a law here banning short-term subleasing for under 30-days if the tenant isn't present, which makes the vast majority of these full-time Airbnb hotels illegal. The only problem is that no one is enforcing it, so it is barely better than having no law at all.
- apaprocki 12y agoAnd it's worth mentioning that even if the tenant is present, condo/co-op boards are free to ban the practice and I would be shocked if most don't -- we do. There are practically no single residential dwellings in NYC -- anything in a multiple dwelling building is subject to the rules put forth by the condo/co-op board.
