A couple turned their home into an illegal hotel where a party held by guests last year ended in a shootout that sent partygoers fleeing from rooftop to rooftop and terrified neighbors, a San Francisco official said Wednesday.
A lawsuit filed by City Attorney Dennis Herrera alleges Erik M. Rogers and his wife, Anshu Singh, unlawfully rented their Bernal Heights home through short-term rental websites for at least 319 nights between June 2016 and October 2017, sometimes charging more than $800 a night.
The couple, who spends most of the time in Bali, Indonesia, also illegally converted the home into two units, Herrera said.
San Francisco requires people renting their homes through online sites like Airbnb and HomeAway/VRBO to live in the unit at least 275 nights a year and that they rent it no more than 90 days during that time.
