NYC fines hotel company $1.2M over illegal short-term rentals
A hotel company accused of reaping millions of dollars from nearly 70 illegal short-term rental units in Manhattan and Brooklyn will pay a $1.2 million fine to New York City as part of a settlement filed in state Supreme Court on Monday.LuxUrban Hotels Inc., formerly CorpHousing, for turning 67 apartments in more than two dozen buildings into illegal short-term rentals between 2019 and 2022.
In the lawsuit, city lawyers said the illegal rentals caused “serious safety risks for the transient occupants of those units, significant security risks in buildings not equipped to handle the security problems associated with transient occupancy, and a degradation in the quality and comfort of the surrounding residents and neighbors.”
