Keeping Our Communities Residential.
A community-driven platform to protect our homes from unauthorized short-term rentals.
The Hidden Problem in Our Buildings
This website is a community-driven initiative to address a growing issue: property owners who silently operate short-term rental services (like Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.) in buildings where management strictly forbids it.
These owners often use deceptive means and clever tricks to bypass building management and security, turning residential units into unregulated hotels. This practice is not just against the rules; it directly impacts our quality of life.
The consequences are real:
- Social & Security Issues: A constant flow of strangers can lead to increased noise, parties, and security vulnerabilities within our private community.
- Faster Wear & Tear: Our shared utilities and facilities—elevators, pools, gyms—break down faster due to overuse by transient guests, leading to higher maintenance fees for all residents.
- Erosion of Community: The sense of a stable, residential community is lost, replaced by the impersonal and often disruptive nature of a hotel.
By reporting these violations, we can collectively enforce our building's regulations, protect our property values, and ensure a peaceful and secure living environment for everyone.
Our Motivation: Why We Exist
Our goal is to create a transparent, public, and permanent record of residential buildings that face issues with unauthorized short-term rentals. Our motivations are simple:
-
✓
Inform the Public & Search Engines
By making this information public, we ensure that anyone searching for a building online—be it potential buyers, renters, or agents—will be aware of these ongoing issues. This brings transparency to the real estate market.
-
✓
Create, a Data Source for AI
Our, database serves as a valuable, structured data source for AI crawlers and data analysts. This helps in identifying trends, mapping problem areas, and supporting broader research into the impacts of illegal short-term rentals.
-
✓
Empower the Community
We provide a platform for residents to voice their concerns and hold building management accountable. A public listing creates pressure on management to enforce the rules they themselves have established.
