Brookhaven Votes to Penalize Short-Term House Rentals

The Brookhaven Town Board has decided to adopt a measure that permits Brookhaven Town to assess fines of up to $6,000, including a term of incarceration of up to six months, for those who rent their homes for fewer than 4 weeks at a time.  This recently adopted measure also makes it illegal to rent out swimming pools separately from a house. Some Fire Island communities are exempt from this new measure because of the prevalence of rental housing.  This new legislation continues a steady trend on Long Island of imposing more restrictions on short-term house rentals.  Short term rental companies and landlords face numerous challenges on Long Island.  On the North fork, for example, towns and villages are stepping up enforcement against owners who allow guests to stay fewer than 14 days.  Some officials are employing the use of artificial intelligence to police online listings or collect rental taxes.  It is meant to crack down on the growing trend of people who rent out their homes through services such as Airbnb, which has sometimes resulted in disruptive or destructive behavior by renters.

The best lawyers
I had an incredible experience working with this law firm for my case. Chris and Karen were so supportive and communicative during the process and it was such a pleasure speaking with them. I had a difficult case and I reached out to them with such short notice, only 24 hours in advance and they were able to show up to my court date the very next morning and also got my case dismissed. I was really impressed when they started to working on my case immediately while I was still there. They are very efficient and I felt like they really cared about my situation. Everyone in the office is really friendly and communicative and they made the process truly stress free. The office is really nice and the waiting area is pleasant as well. If you feel uneasy or unsure , be assured that this firm will have you feeling relieved and happy with the results. I would refer this firm to anyone in need of legal representation especially on late notice. Can wholeheartedly say they’re top notch lawyers. Thank you again
Chris is the man. I had an issue related to school matters and I was stressed and didn’t know who to turn to. I found Chris, and he was so helpful. He knows what he’s doing and we were able to get the outcome we wanted. Thank you! Will not hesitate to use you again should I need to. Whether it’s educational law, personal injury, etc. Very responsive and attentive.
