Most of the crack down by municipalities on short term rentals comes about because of complaints initiated by neighbors.If you are respectful, and your guests considerate of the neighbors and neighborhood, then they are much less likely to complain to the city.Here is a home away thread of people talking about their experiences interacting with the various bureaucracies in LA: http://community.homeaway.com/thread/3031

It will depend on the municipality if they will really crack down on the owner occupancy requirement.Have you contacted the city and just ask?

I'm so looking forward to the day AirBnB starts to crack down.

hey guys, new member here, based in hawaii, find myself in a situation wondering which route to goStarted my real estate journey in march 2020, bought a rare vaca legal condo in hawaii, got lucky and killed it with that as far as home prices having doubled since then here in hawaii as well as crack down on residential airbnb funneling more people to legal vaca rentals. airbnb covers its own mortgage (2000) plus another 2000 of my 3500 rentwondering wether i go for A another condo and more cash flow or B go for a residential single fam i can fix up and live in, cutting rent out and gaining equity instead of paying someone elses. new mortgage on single fam here would probably be 5500thanks any and all inputs! 

And there is a correct way to wholesale in the eyes of the RE community and many states if you have been following wholesaling are starting to crack down and fine and put wholesalers out of business..

They are really trying to crack down on gross misuse. 

First, there may come a time where the city decides to crack down on them and fine you for an illegal residence, much like they do with short-term rentals.Second, when you go to sell it, you may have a hard time finding a buyer willing to continue breaking the law.I don't recommend cheating - even a little - to build wealth and get ahead in life.

We are zoned RL, and yes well aware of all of the county's crackdown on events, weddings, and STR.

She was urging the city council to crack down on AirBnB. 

As an agent here, I've seen the crackdown here locally!
