A team of New York City law-enforcement officers swarmed a Manhattan condominium last month, issuing 27 notices of violations for illegal hotel use in one of the largest crackdowns on short-term rentals such as those listed on Airbnb.

I actually joked about how Airbnb would go out of business one of two ways: 1) the police would put them out of business, or 2) customer dies in a fire on a property that doesn’t meet fire safety requirements and Airbnb doesn’t survive the fallout.

May be an understatement.
