§ 21-06 Amendment of a short-term rental registration.
RCNY § 21-06
1.If any information, other than the phone number or email address, required by 43 RCNY § 21-03 that was provided by a registered host in connection with an application for a short-term rental registration changes before the expiration of such registration, such registered host must submit a request to the administering agency to amend the registration.
2.Such request must be submitted, in the same manner as the application was made, to the administering agency within 15 business days of the change absent extenuating circumstance, along with any applicable supporting documentation of the change or circumstance.
3.Prior to using any listing not disclosed to the administering agency prior to receiving a registration, the registered host shall provide the uniform resource locator or listing identifier of any listing and the associated booking service name for the listing and request that the administering agency amend the registration to include such listing.
4.The administering agency shall review each request for amendment to ensure that the amendment would not violate the provisions of Chapter 31 of Title 26 of the Administrative Code or these rules, or otherwise result in unlawful activity under the registration. The administering agency may request additional information from the registered host as necessary to make a determination.
5.The administering agency shall issue a final agency determination regarding such request for amendment within a reasonable timeframe.
6.Where the information provided in the request for amendment would support revocation of the registration or would form the basis of a violation of Chapter 31 of Title 26 of the Administrative Code or these rules, the administering agency shall offer an opportunity to terminate the registration voluntarily within 10 days before issuing violations or taking enforcement action based on the requested amendment. Where the requested amendment is solely the addition of a listing that the administering agency determines to offer illegal occupancy, the administering agency may also offer the opportunity to amend or withdraw that listing in lieu of voluntary termination of the registration.
