Read this before you list — these are rules you must confirm, not a verdict. This page is informational, not legal advice, and not a guarantee. Only the base zoning above is checked live, and even that is just the zone designation — not a ruling that short-term rental is allowed at this address. Short-term-rental legality is mostly decided by layers we do not verify here: city registration, primary-residence requirements, night caps, RSO / rent-stabilized & ADU restrictions, and your HOA or condo rules (an HOA can ban STR even where the city allows it). Confirm every rule with the issuing authority before you advertise or accept a booking.
