NYC short-term rental management feels like a maze of rules, access issues, and thin margins
I’m looking into short-term rental property management in New York City and I’m stuck. Between building rules, guest screening, cleaning logistics, and compliance worries, I don’t know what “good management” even means here. I want fewer emergencies and clearer numbers, but every option sounds the same. What should I verify before handing over a key?

What helped me was separating “operations” from “compliance” in my checklist. Some teams are great at guest comms but weak on local restrictions and documentation. Ask exactly what they do to keep you aligned with rules and building policies.
