Rent is drived up when landlords decide to rather rent apartments to short-term guests at higher rates, compared to signing up tenants for yearlong leases. In a study conducted in 2014, The New York State Attorney General concluded that 72%of all units used as private short-term rentals on Airbnb during 2010 through mid-2014 appeared to violate both state and local New York laws. New York’s short-term rental laws, which were last updated in 2010, basically prohibit most apartments (buildings with three or more units) in New York City from being rented out for less than 30 days. This means that the majority of entire home/apartment listings that you find on Airbnb and other sites for New York City would be considered illegal, especially if you can book them for a period of less than 30 days. Airbnb has not actively helped city or state officials limit illegal listings on their sites and, according to data supplied by Airbnb, entire home listings outnumber listings for private rooms or shared spaces on their platform for New York City. |

| − | Community groups and housing advocates in cities across the world have begun to sound the alarm about the impact Airbnb is having on affordable housing in their communities, citing concerns about housing supply lost, racialized gentrification, and impact on residents’ quality of life. To understand Airbnb’s impact on housing in New York, we aim at presents a comprehensive analysis of three years from 2015 to 2017 of Airbnb activity in New York City. It relies on the most comprehensive third-party dataset of Airbnb activity available, and methodologies of visualize and analysis geographical data.

| − | Our report is motivated by the concerns increasingly raised by local communities and housing advocates that short-term rentals are clearly affect traditional residential rental housing and hotel accommodation. Either concern, if justified, would represent a serious problem for municipal authorities. But reliable, up-to-date evidence has been hard to come by. Accordingly, we aim at analysis different neighborhood’s distinct characteristics in New York, including significant seasonal tourism distributions, ethnic composition, price and density differences and set out to answer three main questions based on our analysis:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * How much housing has Airbnb removed from the market from the market in New York?
| |
| − | | |
| − | * How much Housing has Airbnb influenced household income?

| − | * Using geospatial analysis tools to map out the Airbnb property distribution in New York City across 5 boroughs from Year 2015 to 2017. We intend to visualize the sprawling pattern in New York City and dynamically changing density of listing Airbnb property in each neighbourhood.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * To refine the given broad geographic pattern, we turn to investigate the revenue-earning patterns in multiple neighbourhood derived from listing price and transaction records. The Airbnb revenue patterns would be compared with the gross rent income records across neighbourhood, which unveils the geographical rental gaps under two different “renting”form – Normal and Airbnb-ed.
