'Airbnb agrees regular New Yorkers should be able to share their home and not be targeted by the City, and we urge the administration to work with our Host community to support a regulatory framework that helps responsible Hosts and targets illegal hotel operators,' Nathan Rotman, public policy regional lead for Airbnb, said in a statement to NPR on Wednesday.Ĭhristian Klossner, executive director for the city's Office of Special Enforcement, told the New York Daily News that he expects to see 10,000 listings disappear after the new regulations go into effect.Wide Selection: Airbnb hosts list many different kinds of properties, from single rooms, apartments, and houses to houseboats, caravans, and even castles.įree Listings: Hosts don’t have to pay to list their properties. If Airbnb hosts fail to comply, they could face $1,000 to $5,000 in penalty fees.Ī spokesperson for Airbnb said the new regulations will hurt average New Yorkers who are struggling to keep up with rising costs. The new measure, which will go into effect in January, will require Airbnb hosts to register their short-term rentals with the city's database - including proof that the hosts themselves reside there, and that their home abides by local zoning and safety requirements.
