Community organizations and Queens homeowners gathered at Diversity Plaza in Jackson Heights Wednesday morning to rally in support of City Council legislation aiming to expand flexibility for short-term rentals, such as Airbnb, in New York City.
Intro 1107, introduced by Brooklyn Council Member Farah Louis, proposes amendments to the city’s short-term rental policies by allowing the owners of one or two-family homes to rent out their space to up to four adults plus children. The proposed legislation would also eliminate an existing law that requires homeowners to be present while letting out their homes.
