The federal case for homeowner rights.
Who this case is brought on behalf of
The lawsuit is brought on behalf of a specific class: owners of one- and two-family private dwellings in New York City who have been subject to Local Law 18 enforcement — registration requirements, fines, inspections, verification denials, or related regulatory burdens tied to short-term hosting of their own homes.
The class is drawn narrowly on purpose. It reflects the constitutional and preemption arguments the case actually makes, which turn on the particular treatment of owner-occupied private dwellings. Homeowners outside this definition, and non-homeowners who support the effort, are not part of the class — but there is a separate, deliberately distinct way to be counted.
