NEW YORK — A New York City artist is facing eviction and a $185,000 fine after renting out her rent-regulated loft to tourists on Airbnb. The New York Post reports a judge ruled this week that a landlord could evict Eileen Hickey. Landlord Robert Moskowitz says Hickey made $4,500 a month by renting her Manhattan loft to visitors at triple what she pays. Moskowitz says Hickey violated state laws against short-term renting and profiting off rent-stabilized apartments. Hickey says the Airbnb rentals spanned 85 nights over 10 months.
