Nassau County does not impose a countywide host-presence requirement, but several Nassau villages and towns require the registered host to occupy the dwelling during guest stays, banning fully unhosted whole-home rentals in residential zones.
Pending New York STR registry legislation (A8284/S885) would create statewide registration but does not mandate host presence. Locally, town and village codes in Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay treat unhosted whole-home STRs as transient occupancies that violate single-family residential zoning. Hosted home-shares where the owner remains onsite are typically tolerated as accessory residential use. Nassau County itself has no countywide STR ordinance; enforcement runs through municipal zoning, the County Hotel/Motel Tax registration regime, and Article XII of the Sanitary Code where food service is offered.
Unhosted operation in jurisdictions requiring presence triggers village zoning citations, daily fines often $250 to $1,000, and cease-and-desist orders backed by injunctive relief in NY Supreme Court.
