Short term rental in NYC via Airbnb

Hello BP members,

I am planning to invest in Multi Family House in NYC. My plan is to live in one unit and do short term rentals for the other unit on Airbnb.

As I was researching, I came across a short term rental regulation that owners cannot install bedroom locks in the building. I was surprised to find this regulation since many guests will feel unsafe to rent a private room if there’s no door lock and anyone in the house can access the bedroom.

How do short term rental airbnb hosts in NYC go around this regulation? Or are most airbnb hosts just ignoring this? Is this regulation considered a frequent violation by the hosts?

Thank you for reading! :)
