NEW YORK
On November 20, the New York City Committee on Housing and Buildings will consider a bill that would increase the number of allowable boarders, roomers, and lodgers in a private dwelling and short-term rentals in one- and two-family dwellings to 4, not including any children under the age of 18, provided that the permanent occupant has registered the property for use as a short-term rental. The bill would also allow permanent occupants to host guests without being physically present at the property, and would address the common household requirement, commonly known as the “unlocked doors provision”, as it relates to short-term rentals in one- and two-family dwellings.
