CITY FINES SHORT-TERM RENTAL LANDLORDS $16M AFTER CRACKDOWN

Local Law 18 is sending a chill across short-term rental landlords across New
York City.



As of the end of March, the city has scored $16.3 million in settlements from
lawsuits related to Local Law 18, Bisnow reported. That number is subject to
change as some of the 25 lawsuits accounted for haven’t reached final
resolutions.

The most public case involved the $845,000 settlement by Mega Home and broker
Katherine Cartagena, who allegedly raked in $2 million by converting apartments
into illegal short-term rentals. They settled in March and the operations were
shut down.

Outside of the grand total, the city also issued a $1.2 million fine against
LuxUrban Hotels for illegal short-term rental operations in Manhattan and
Brooklyn. 

The city law — colloquially known as the “Airbnb ban” — restricted short-term
rentals in New York. Hosts were forced to register their units and agree to
abide by all regulations, while the enforcement power of the government was
increased.

If the goal was to rid the city of its short-term rental options, that has
largely been a success. Since the enforcement of Local Law 18 began on Sept. 5,
short-term listings have declined by more than 80 percent. There were slightly
more than 3,000 units left by the start of October, with only 417 in the process
of being registered.

As of the end of last year, a mere 1,337 applications for short-term rentals had
been submitted to the city. But in the spring that number increased
significantly, with more than 6,100 applications having gone through the process
as of May 6.

If the goal of the legislation was to lift the hotel operators of the city, that
has been a success, too. Hotels have surged in demand and profitability at the
end of the year, recording a jump in average daily rates of 10 percent
year-over-year, according to CoStar. Nationwide, that metric jumped by
approximately 3 percent.
