Short Term Alternatives for You NYC (StayNYC) is a non-profit trade association of New York City bed & breakfast (B&B) owners, many of whom are women and minority owned small business, that pay hotel tax, occupancy tax, City and State sales tax. We provide short term stay alternatives for travelers to New York. Our members, who are NYC registered small facility operators, are advocating for an exemption to Ch. 225 of 2010 for a specific class of small facilities operators in New York City. As unintended targets of this law, StayNYC is fighting to protect the B&B culture in the City and remain a valuable asset to our visitors. No units in the members' buildings are rent regulated; therefore they are not termed affordable housing. StayNYC is advocating for an exemption to the law for a specific class of small facilities operators in New York City. As small businesses, B&Bs make up a vital percentage of the hospitality industry.
