Using your apartment as a short-term rental or hotel is illegal in New York City. Still, lots of people do it and most get away with it. What it mainly requires is just a little bit of discretion, which is to say, you probably shouldn't brag on the internet about how much money you make by renting out your apartment, hosting cooking classes, and holding weekly Shabbat dinners at $40 a head, like this Upper West Side couple did. They are now being sued by the condo board. [DNAinfo]
