RCNY § 21-07

1.A short-term rental registration may be renewed by filing an application for renewal using the online registration portal accessible through the administering agency's website. Renewals will be accepted beginning 180 days before the expiration of a host's current registration. A renewal that is approved before the expiration of the registration period will be effective on the date of the expiration of the original registration.

2.As part of the application for renewal, the registered host must: a. Affirm that all information previously provided in an application for registration or renewal, or previously provided as a required update, remains true and accurate or update such information in accordance with paragraph (b) of this subdivision; b. Provide adequate documentation to satisfy the application requirements where a document previously provided has either expired or is no longer recent enough to satisfy the requirements; and c. Certify that they have maintained a record of each short-term rental transaction in accordance with subdivision 5 of 43 RCNY § 21-10 below.

3.The renewal fee will be the same as the application fee. Payments shall be required at the time the application for renewal is submitted.

4.If the information provided by an applicant in connection with a renewal changes before the renewal application is granted or denied, the applicant must immediately notify the administering agency.

5.Renewal of a registration for a dwelling unit pursuant to this chapter shall not be construed as permission for or approval of the use of such dwelling unit for any occupancy that would be in violation of a lease, cooperative bylaws, condominium association rules and regulations, the multiple dwelling law, the zoning resolution, the New York city codes, the housing maintenance code or any other applicable rules, regulations, or laws.

6.Renewal of a registration does not alter and may not be deemed to alter the legal occupancy or zoning use group of a building or portion thereof as described in the certificate of occupancy or as otherwise determined by the department of buildings. (Added City Record 2/3/2023, eff. 3/5/2023)
