> I believe short stay (<30 days) like this was always illegal in NYC.

If by "always illegal" you mean "since two years ago": http://skift.com/2013/01/07/airbnbs-growing-pains-mirrored-i...




Separate from that law, literally every New York lease I've ever seen has included terms forbidding the rental behavior that AirBNB promotes, and I'd be surprised if the bylaws of every co-op didn't include house rules forbidding this type of activity. Some condos may be more-flexible in their laws - but there's always been a pretty-strong legal framework in-place forbidding re-renting an apartment in this manner.
