No countywide STR occupancy cap. Default is the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code occupant-load rules (typically 2 persons per bedroom + 2). Local rental registries may set tighter limits.
The NY Uniform Code uses a 200-sq-ft-per-person calculation for sleeping areas; most municipalities apply '2 per bedroom + 2' as a practical cap in STRs. City of Schenectady rental-registry inspections verify sleeping-area floor space and egress. Local zoning may add definitions of 'family' that effectively cap unrelated adult occupants. Overcrowding is a rental-registry violation and a potential Uniform Code issue.
Overcrowding: $250–$1,000 per incident; rental-registry revocation possible.
