USE OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME FOR MOSTLY WEEKEND SHORT-RENTALS IS NOT A LEGAL NONCONFORMING USE OF THE PROPERTY (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the zoning board properly held that petitioner’s. Cradit’s, use of her property for short-term guests was not a legal nonconforming use:

… [W]e agree with the Board’s determination that Cradit’s use of her property was not a legal nonconforming use. Contrary to Cradit’s argument, in renting out the residence on the property on a short-term basis, she was not using the residence as a one-family dwelling. A one-family dwelling is a building that contains a single dwelling unit (see Southold Town Code § 280-4[B]). Where property is used as “a boarding- or rooming house, . . . hotel, motel, inn, lodging or nursing or similar home or other similar structure[, it] shall not be deemed to constitute a dwelling unit'” (id.). The Board correctly determined that Cradit’s use of the residence for short-term rentals was “similar to a hotel/motel use,” which had never been a permissible use in her zoning district. Moreover, prior to the enactment of Southold Town Code §§ 280-4 and 280-111(J), Southold Town Code § 280-8(E) specifically provided that “any use not permitted by this chapter shall be deemed prohibited.” Accordingly, because Cradit was using the property in violation of a prior zoning ordinance, she could not establish that her current use is a legal nonconforming use … . Matter of Cradit v Southold Town Zoning Bd. of Appeals, 2020 NY Slip Op 00588, Second Dept 1-29-20
