San Francisco seeking hefty USD5.5 million fine for couple's illegal Airbnb rentals
The city of San Francisco is seeking a huge fine of $5.5 million for two property owners illegally renting out 14 apartments on Airbnb in a scheme of 'breath taking deceit and fraud.'
The city asked a Superior Court judge to slap the huge fine on Darren and Valerie Lee who own 45 apartments.
It dates back to a lawsuit filed by the city in 2014 alleging the couple illegally converted a building to short-term rentals after evicting tenants.
The Lees agreed to settle a year later and paid $276,000 with an undertaking not to violate short-term rental laws again.
City attorney Dennis Herrera alleges they were soon breaking the law again by listing 14 apartments on Airbnb which were rented out for a combined 2,271 nights, generating more than $700,000.
The city's motion to the court to enforce the injunction is seeking a penalty of $750 for every day each apartment was available and $1,500 for each day an apartment was actually rented.
Hi Info - never experienced this myself, sounds like a screw up by Bdc's editors - I have found a daily message via the Extranet generally gets a swift response - eventually.
Unfortunately you just have to make yourself a PIA to get a reaction.
I'm afraid I'm with Liz on this front, it may be nerve jangling but I prefer to alter each platform myself - I have had numbers of bookings from other B&B locally where "for some reason or other" their channel manager failed to block rooms on one platform or another....
