Technically, in a condominium, that's true, since you actually own the interior of your unit. But there isn't a big difference to other people who live in the building (even though I agree with NP, there's a huge difference between strangers in the building, and strangers inside your front door, I still completely understand why the building would want to prohibit short-term rentals).

However, in a coop, the building is controlled by the owner, which is the coop association. Often, you do actually lease your unit from the coop association, so when you lease or rent to others, it IS a sublet.

Not if the conditions of purchase require that the apartment not be sublet - and I'm aware of very few that did allow subletting (usually apartments that were bought as pieds a tierres or investments rather than full-time residences). And the new law will cover any in the few buildings that did allow it.

I don't post here often, but everytime I do check in to see what's going on it seems there is always a new or ongoing discussion about short term rentals. NYC is just one place that doesn't allow them (housing is already in short supply in NYC, affordable housing is virtually non-existent. Why is Anyone surprised vacation rentals are illegal?)Paris and New Orleans, LA also have a 'no short term rental rule' for basically the same reasons. These cities aren't resort areas where vacation rentals are the norm.
In NYC, just get a room. There are plenty of apart-hotels to be had and RCA is a more than affordable choice of this genre.
