A Manhattan landlord and a former Corcoran realtor are the first casualties of a newly enforceable law meant to curb illegal Airbnb listings, The Post has learned.
Property owner Hank Freid who was once crowned one of NYCs Worst Landlords by a watchdog group in 2005 and real estate broker Tatiana Cames were slapped with 17 violations, at $1,000 apiece, for their allegedly illegal listings on Manhattans Upper West Side and in Bedford-Stuyvesant, in Brooklyn, according to documents obtained by the Post.
