ITHACA, N.Y. — A law approved last year that restricts short-term rental properties in Ithaca is set to go into full effect on June 1. The law requires people who rent out their properties to live on site, undergo safety inspections and pay certain taxes and a fee, among other requirements. Parts of the law have already been phased in, but enforcement has not always been consistent — city tax receipt data last year suggests that some hosts had skirted occupancy tax payments.
