Mayor Sues to Shut Down Complex Illegal Short-Term Rental Operation

Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement (OSE) Executive Director Christian J. Klossner recently announced a new lawsuit to shut down an illegal short-term rental operation at a building located in Turtle Bay.

According to the lawsuit, a licensed real estate broker and the building owner used a number of LLCs they control to run a complex and illegal short-term rental operation utilizing online lodging websites such as Airbnb. Between January of 2018 and March of 2022, Airbnb records show that the platform disbursed $2 million in payments to the broker for short-term rentals at six buildings throughout the city, including at least $987,729 from the building targeted in the lawsuit.
