NY Resources Information from David Hantman
From David Hantman, Airbnb's Global Head of Public Policy, latest blog post.. You can view the original post at:
publicpolicy.airbnb.com/new-york-resources-information/
1. The 2010 law banning illegal hotels
This law was designed to crack down on businesses that were converting
multiple apartments and even entire buildings into illegal hotels.
Shutting down these bad actors is a goal we all share. But even the
authors of the legislation said people like Airbnb hosts were not the
targets of the law. Read the legislation here.
2. The proposed legislation we support to change the law
We have long advocated for a change in New York law that would allow
regular New Yorkers renting out their own homes occasionally throughout
the year to do so without the threat of government intervention or
fines. The good news is that a bill to do just that was introduced this
year, and we expect it to be debated sometime in 2014 when the
legislature in New York reconvenes. Read the proposed legislation here.
3. Fighting the subpoena -
After the Attorney General demanded data on Airbnb hosts, we filed a
motion in New York State Supreme Court objecting to this demand. You can
read the two critical documents here

So I read the proposed legislation, and am having an awful case of the Whaddaboutmeees?! ...in that it seems to focus on rentals and on cases where the "permanent residents" aren't there.
Any ideas where I can look for info about the rest of us? ie, homeowners, and/or hosts who remain in the living space and share living quarters with guests?
