Full Breakdown
Under NYC Administrative Code Chapter 31 of Title 26 (Local Law 18), the Office of Special Enforcement must revoke a dwelling unit's short-term rental registration, after notice and a hearing, once its registered host racks up three or more violations of the chapter or agency rules within a rolling 24-month window. Revocation also follows a material false statement on the application, addition to the prohibited buildings list, or discovery of facts that would have blocked approval. OSE notifies every booking service tied to the listing once a registration is revoked, and civil penalties run up to $5,000 per violation on top of the strikes.
Violations & Fines
Three or more violations within 24 months triggers mandatory revocation after a hearing; separate civil penalties reach $5,000 per violation, $1,000 for false statements.
