PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (WCAX) - As New York City and communities around the country look to expand housing by banning short-term rentals like Airbnb, Plattsburgh's mayor says it's a move that is not needed yet, but he says he is interested in other regulations and taxation of the properties. A group of residents in Plattsburgh have been calling for a ban on short-term rentals in the city, arguing that the rentals raise public safety concerns and impact available housing. 'As far as it's creating any sort of shortage for the rental - that conversation is not really valid because it really is such a small portion of the inventory,' said Lindsay Boulerice, who owns several Airbnbs and LB House to Home Realty in Plattsburgh.
