Airbnb agreed to settle its lawsuit against the City of San Francisco today.
As part of the settlement, Airbnb agreed to remove hosts from its platform if they fail to register with the city, and to require new hosts to have a city-issued registration number if they want to sign up to rent out their home.
Airbnb sued the city of San Francisco last June after the city council passed a law that would fine Airbnb $1,000 for each unregistered host, which essentially made hosts' failure to register the company's problem. Now, as part of the settlement, Airbnb will also begin redesigning the host on-boarding process in San Francisco so that new hosts will automatically be registered with the city when they sign up on the app.
“We believe a streamlined registration process should be available for all hosts,” said Airbnb global head of policy Chris Lehane during a Monday press conference. “Under the agreement, hosts can register their short-term rental with the city, get a business license and pay the [registration] fee all through Airbnb.” Previously, Airbnb hosts had to go to city hall in person to register and pay the city's $250 fee.
The new system, known as pass-through registration, will launch in early 2018, Lehane said. Airbnb has a four month deadline to ensure all new hosts are registered with the city, and eight months to boot existing hosts who don't comply.
“Enforcement with real teeth will begin in short order,” said San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera during a separate press conference Monday.
The city wants hosts to register in order to ensure that housing stock reserved for low-income residents isn't being rented out short term on Airbnb.
At the city's press conference, former Supervisor David Campos — a longtime affordable housing advocate and Airbnb antagonist — said that the settlement, which comes three years after he first authored legislation to regulate Airbnb, came with “a sense of vindication.”
Both San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors have to give the agreement their seal of approval before it's official. In an emailed statement, Mayor Lee said he's “pleased” with the terms of the settlement. “Requiring the registration of short-term rentals will allow us to effectively identify the bad actors who manipulate the process and deprive the City of much-needed rental units,” the statement reads.
San Francisco city attorney Dennis Herrera said that, out of the 8,000 properties currently listed on Airbnb in San Francisco, only 2,100 hosts have registered with the city. That means there are thousands of hosts who have eight months to register with San Francisco, or quit the platform.
Lehane said Monday that, based on Airbnb's efforts to register its hosts in Chicago and New Orleans, he's confident the company will continue “sustainable growth” under the agreement. But when pressed for details, Lehane couldn't say how many hosts Airbnb has lost in those markets since mandatory registration began.
San Francisco is not the only city Airbnb has sued; the list includes Miami, Anaheim, Santa Monica, and New York City, where a new bill aimed at creating more lenient Airbnb regulations was recently introduced.

Today, we are announcing the public preview of metrics in the Job Diagram for data driven monitoring and troubleshooting of Azure Stream Analytics jobs. This new functionality enables the quick and easy isolation of issues to specific components and query steps using metrics on the state of the inputs, outputs, and each step of the processing logic.
If for example, an Azure Stream Analytics job is not producing the expected output, metrics in the Job Diagram can be used to identify query steps that are receiving inputs but not producing any output to identify and isolate issues. Additionally, when one or more inputs to the Steam Analytics job stop producing events, the new capabilities can help identify the inputs and outputs that have pending diagnosis messages associated with them.
To access this capability, click on the “Job diagram” button in the “Settings” blade of the of the Stream Analytics job. For existing jobs, it is necessary to restart the job first.
Every input and output is color coded to indicate the current state of that component.
When you want to look at intermediate query steps to understand the data flow patterns inside Stream Analytics, the visualization tool provides a view of the breakdown of the query into its component steps and the flow sequence. Each logical node shows the number of partitions it has.
Clicking on each query step will show the corresponding section in a query editing pane as illustrated. A metrics chart for the step is also displayed in a lower pane.
Clicking the … will pop up the context menu allowing the expansion of partitions showing the partitions of the Event Hub input in addition to the input merger.
Clicking a single partition node will show the metrics chart only for that partition on the bottom.
Selecting the merger node will show the metrics chart for the merger. The chart below shows that no events got dropped or adjusted.
Hovering the mouse pointer on the chart will show details of the metric value and time.
We are very excited to hear your feedback. Please give it a try and let us know what you think.
