Huntington STR occupancy is limited by NY Property Maintenance Code standards of minimum square footage per occupant, and by Chapter 160 rental permit inspections. Generally 2 occupants per bedroom plus 2 additional is the functional maximum, with absolute caps tied to dwelling size.
New York State Property Maintenance Code (19 NYCRR) sets minimum habitable space at 70 square feet for the first occupant and 50 square feet per additional occupant in sleeping rooms. Huntington enforces these standards through Chapter 160 rental permit inspections. A common formula applied is 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional persons in the dwelling. Huntington Rental Permits specify the maximum occupancy on the permit itself. Exceeding that number is a Chapter 160 violation. STR listings must match the permitted occupancy; advertising higher capacity than the permit allows is itself a violation.
Exceeding permitted occupancy: Chapter 160 violation with fines 1,000 to 5,000 dollars first offense. Advertising higher than permitted occupancy: separate enforcement action possible.
