As long as the "class A" multiple dwelling unit (i) is not a single room occupancy, (ii) contains a bathroom and kitchen, (iii) has working smoke detectors located in each room and (iv) the unit has sufficient fire, hazard and liability insurance to cover those persons using the unit for such occupancy, the unit could be lawfully sta travel japan rented for less than thirty days.
The accompanying memo further provides: "Last year s law was written to encompass a greater universe than was intended. While it successfully phases out SROs [Single Room Occupancy Buildings], it also is ridding New York State of a legitimate business model: short-term rental units. These short-term units provide tax income to New York and tourism dollars to the areas in which they are located. They should not be confused with the small single room living spaces that are SROs, which often get associated with decrepitude, poor maintenance, and numerous building and health code violations. While one can certainly find examples of municipalities and a few states regulating short-term rentals, sta travel japan it is a hard-pressed task to find those which completely ban it. This legislation would help those individuals and small businesses that will no longer be able to operate because of this law." [2]
I own and manage sta travel japan four different VR units in Paris and we are facing the same problem as you in NY. In fact, the law here has been in existence for many years now but it had never been applied. Not until two years ago when the mayor of Paris suddenly decided otherwise. He is now using the law in support of his political agenda by claiming that the ban would lower rental prices by freeing up more apartments of owners who cannot rent them short term anymore. So, in effect, he has already started the lynching before even finding out if the law was still appropriate as written, or even if it would accomplish what he claims it would.
We have found a few reports analyzing the economic sta travel japan contribution of vacation rentals in other cities sta travel japan and towns across the US but none specifically examining the negative economic impact of New York City Short-Term Rental Ban.
Thank your for this valuable sta travel japan information. Our mayor seems to be very keen on applying the new law on the basis that it will contributed to a decrease in rent prices to Parisians, which is a nonsense political promise because most owners will prefer keep their apartments sta travel japan empty instead of having to deal with existing rent restriction laws.
it seems, however, that a compromise of some sort will be happening soon, but much is still to be done in order to achieve an intelligent solution. Among the things that we are still working on is a governance policy that would regulate how the short term rental activity can coexist with neighbors in the same building. I have started to make a list of proposals to this effect. But if you have anything sta travel japan of the sort on your side, I d also appreciate it.
I actually called the office of rep. Golden and expressed concern about the bill that banned short term rental sta travel japan and expressed my knowledge how that the Mayor s office of special enforcement is now targeting (after they already had shut down the large SRO s operating as hotels) they are targeting small properties with 3 or 4 apartments that rent their units for tourists. We are taking about 8 to 10 people here. Very small operations. They pay taxes, the properties are well taken care of and reviews are actually very good and people love them.
I totally agree. The ban on renting short term property is just another ploy for NYC to issue hefty fines thus generating income for the cash strapped city. Another aspect to this is that the NYC hotel industry has powerful influence by making political sta travel japan contributions to State Senator such as Liz Kruger. The NYC Hotel Industry has political influence and seek out lobbyist to get what ever it takes to protect their industry.
I went to an assembly meeting last April of which Vito Lopez was the head. Many people spoke out against this law and others told stories of how slum lords build walls and may offer a sofa for one or two days. People were drinking etc. In other words a testimony to preserve the law. However sta travel japan most of the testimony was to support Sen Golden s bill. Have a license issued to those renting short term. They would pay and renew it for a fee as proposed in the Bill. Sen Lopez did not budge however it is obvious the public consensus is far and away in favor of Sen Golden s bill. In other words rather than spending tax payer money enforcing a law that does not work let the owners pay a fee to regulate a much more sensible law. This would eliminate the slumlords and keep tourism and local business flourishing.Currently the number of underground rentals (slumlords) has increased by one-third. The current law protects no one and is costing the taxpayer dearly. This was made clear at this meeting.
Since then I have learned sta travel japan the Liz Krueger is having anyone who testified in favor of Sen. Golden s Bill investigated and all there real estate reviewed. Can you believe this???? It this Nazi Germany?? IN addition chairman Lopez is no longer Chairman as he has been charged with Sexual harassment of an employee. These are the people who claim to be fighting such a worthy cause for the NYC public at large.
"The law s intent is to stop the activities of landlords who have a stock of apartments which they use as hotel rooms instead of otherwise affordable housing for New Yorkers. The units we offer are people s homes and not part of such a supply. Additionally our lofts are in buildings which are not subject to the law in any case. The law applies only to apartments in class A buildings. These are commercial buildings and we have no trouble with any of them."
The second one because you cannot have dwelling units in a commercial building. But it s true, the new law does not apply to loft buildings and affordable housing advocacy groups care little about them.
In any case, the City cannot and will not shut down short term apartment rentals unless sta travel japan there is a fire safety hazard sta travel japan involved (overcrowding, no second exit etc). Short term apartment renters will not be tossed out to the street but landlords may get fines if they re operating illegally. So if there is an inspection while you are in a short term rental, and you happen to open the door for the inspector, they will ask you how long you are staying. If you admit to staying less than 30 days, they might fine the landlord (but first they will have to prove it was not a one time occurrence which is permitted by the new law) If they find proof of an illegal rental, there is a court hearing (usually 3-6 months after the inspection date, sometimes much longer if the owner files for extension) and the judge will determine what fines will be imposed. I ve never heard of apartment rentals, small bed and breakfasts/guest houses being shut down (it only happened to hostels with multiple bunk beds in a room and SRO hotels) but during the past couple of months couple of bb s were fined for operating illegally sta travel japan under the new law (most of them have been in business for more than 10 yrs).
The chance of you having problems in either of these apartments is slim, however, it does not mean they are operating legally. If they are caught the second time the penalty will be double as much. But this will always be the landlords issue.
Well, at least they aren t banning it. I always felt that renting makes me feel like more of a local, and it helps bring some extra income to those who aren t always at their place making it more economical sta travel japan for them to stay there.
This is in response to Margaret s comments. sta travel japan Long term renters can be just as disruptive as short term. In many cases worse. Eviction problems and other incidents have actually been more prevalent sta travel japan with long term renters. That said.there certainly is a demand for short term rentals who bring a life blood into the city that helps all aspects of the local economy. They also help keep real estate values stable and can serve to increase demand. For long term renters to live in a highly commercial area such as Times Square and then complain that they can get no peace and quiet is absurd. You simply cannot paint a broad stroke and ban all short term rentals sta travel japan in NYC. The hotels are loving it and that is behind this with the help of Liz Kruger who pushed it through.
I say don t allow short term rentals, they are only good for the investors who rent them and terrible for the people who live there and have to put up with these renters. My sympathy goes out to them.
I take your point. But what about the property owners who rent out apartments in their own homes to vacationing renters where the only people affected are the owners themselves. Surely you wouldn t begrudge homeowners the right to rent to whomever they choose, and for whatever length of stay is desired.
sta travel japan That is not true. Many long term tenants are huge problems for neighbors. In fact the evidence shows this is the case. If a short term tenant is renting in a desirable location as a tourist sta travel japan they will pay more than a full time renter., That is true. But this means they are responsible, successful individuals willing to pay a premium for clean,well located apartments. This type of tenant is rarely a problem and generally very sensitive and mindful of others in the building. It is the house or facility that is a hostel or designed specifically sta travel japan to cram people into unsafe or unsanitary units that causes problems for others in the building.
The person who made the comment sta travel japan that only the owner benefits is way off the mark. This means revenue of the city and because of regulation the virtual elimination of the underground hostels that are causing the problem. Also a viable alternative for those tourists sta travel japan seeking a hotel alternative.
Let s put an end to the lunacy and repeal this misguided law on short term rental bans.The law in it s current form does not take into account the need for short term r
