Common households for short-term rentals in one- and two-family dwellings.

A Local Law to amend the New York city building code and administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to common households for short-term rentals in one- and two-family dwellings

This bill would address the common household requirement, commonly known as the “unlocked doors provision”, as it relates to short-term rentals in one- and two-family dwellings, by requiring the permanent occupant of a one- or two-family dwelling hosting a short-term rental to provide boarders, roomers, or lodgers reasonable access to the dwelling units, which need not include the bedrooms, offices, or other similar private spaces of any permanent occupant of the dwelling.
