@Raul R.I am not an expert in short-term rental rules in NYC.My understanding is that it can only be deemed legal if the host does it in an apartment that is deemed commercial and below 4 stories.With that - I take it that anyone doing a STR in a building 4 stories or more is illegal.Furthermore - people who are doing a STR in a building 4 stories or less where the building is not deemed commercial - then it is illegal.A lot of people are playing outside those white lines.
