Chicago FAQ
How long does a strike stay on my Shared Housing record?
BACP counts violations within a rolling 12-month window for suspension purposes, but revocation findings and renewal bans can persist for several years on the public host record.
Can my building force my Airbnb listing off the platform?
Yes. A condo association or owner can petition to join the Prohibited Buildings List. Once added, all units in that building lose Shared Housing eligibility regardless of host history.
