Williams, Chair January 20, 2015 <br />Short Term Rentals -Stimulating the Economy or Destabilizing Neighborhoods? <br /><br />I am here today to stand against short-term rentals not just in rent regulated but in all multiple-dwelling buildings. I ask that this committee put forward legislation that amends the appropriate HPD codes to clearly and unequivocally prohibit short-term rentals in these buildings. <br /><br />My name is Susan Steinberg and I represent the Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village Tenants Association. Our Manhattan community is a small town of more than 11,230 apartments on 80 acres. In 2011, our tenants association began receiving numerous complaints from affected neighbors about the negative impact of short-term rentals in their buildings. <br /><br />Our community has long been a haven of middle-and working-class housing, and these short-term rentals threaten long-term affordable housing not just in our community but also in communities across this city. <br /><br />You see, AirBnB-style rentals tempt otherwise law-abiding tenants to make a quick buck on their rent-stabilized apartments by unlawfully renting their apartments as hotel rooms. <br /><br />This is known as creating an "illusory tenancy," and the tenant becomes vulnerable to eviction, and once evicted, through the insidious vacancy destabilization loophole (otherwise known as vacancy decontrol) that unit is deregulated and is lost forever. <br /><br />In addition to the attack on long-term affordability, there are quality-of¬ life and safety issues. <br /><br />Our tenants association received complaints from tenured tenants who challenged entry into their buildings by persons unknown who lacked keys. These turned out to be short-term renters and in one report just became angry and just pushed their way into the building. Mr. Chair, tenants have a right to know who their neighbors are.<br /><br />nd what about a building's rules? These short-term renters are not schooled in NYC recycling rules and laundry room etiquette, they create noise, and they add undue wear and tear on the building's infrastructure. <br />Lastly, there is the very real correlation between short-term rentals and an increased presence of the prolific and hard-to-eradicate bed bug. <br /><br />Our own online bed bug registry -- which tracks reports in all 110 buildings -- showed a clear increase of reports for buildings which also shared reports of short-term rentals. The resulting inconvenient bed bug inspections --the awesomely burdensome bed bug remediation requirements -- these should be reason alone to prohibit short-term rentals in apartment buildings. Mr. Chair, we urge you to pass legislation prohibiting short-term rentals in residential multiple-dwelling buildings. <br />Thank you. <br />Respectfully submitted: <br />Susan Steinberg, <br />Board Chair <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-62528654129607974012018-04-17T10:26:53.412-04:002018-04-17T10:26:53.412-04:00It is so lame the way Peter Stuyvesant puts up tho...It is so lame the way Peter Stuyvesant puts up those silly alerts and helpful hints when residents bring up safety and other issues.

Their reputation for being a slumlord is well documented. They are doing what they’ve always done on their other properties.<br /><br />My problem is that the TA backed this deal to a known real estate predator as the 2nd best option behind tenant ownership. Now that they heralded this deal to said predator, they have disappeared.
