Occupancy is governed by NY Property Maintenance Code and local bedroom-count standards. Typical limit: 2 people per bedroom plus 2. Many Nassau villages cap STR occupancy at 6-8 guests.
NY Property Maintenance Code §404 sets minimum floor area per occupant: 70 sq ft for first person, 50 sq ft for each additional. Local STR ordinances in jurisdictions like Long Beach impose maximums regardless of code calculation (often 2 per bedroom +2, capped at 8). Single-family zoning definitions of family may further limit unrelated occupants.
Overcrowding: $500-$2,500 fines. Village permit revocation possible. Code enforcement inspects on complaint.
