Property duo Airbn ‘busted’

A Manhattan landlord and a former Corcoran real-estate agent are the first casualties of a newly enforceable law meant to curb illegal Airbnb listings, The Post has learned.

Property owner Hank Freid — named one of the city’s “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 the Upper West Side and in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, according to documents obtained by the Post.

Freid, who manages the Marrakech Hotel on Broadway, was hit with 12 violations for listing SROs in the building on several booking platforms, including Booking.com, Expedia, Kayak, Hotwire, Travelocity, and Orbitz, the citations reveal.

Meanwhile, Cames allegedly posted five listings to Airbnb advertising 320 Macon St. in Brooklyn. The property was discovered to have inadequate fire alarms, sprinklers, illegal subdivisions — and a confused bunch of French tourists in a rear unit, according to the documents.

The listings also seem to suggest that drawing illegal Airbnb-ers into BedStuy will help “diversify” the locale.

Cames also manages an Airbnb listing at 103 St. James Place in Clinton Hill, which has housed at least 179 guests, based on the number of reviews.

“Last week marked the start of enforcement efforts against bad actors under the new state law that bars advertising of illegal short-term rentals,” said City Hall spokeswoman Melissa Grace.

If Freid and Cames don’t pull their listings, they could be hit with a second set of violations, at $5,000 a pop.

A lawyer for Freid, Ronald J. Rosenberg, called the summons a “misapplication of the law” and said his client will “fight the violations in court, as he has successfully done in the past.”

Cames did not return a message.
