In its ongoing tug-of-war with the New York Attorney General, Airbnb announced it will hand over data—including names and addresses—on 124 of its hosts within New York City.

Airbnb elaborated within a blog post about the compliance on Friday. The company said it reviewed its New York hosts and removed a number of them for failing to live up to the site's standards. And as they were working to reach an agreement with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, they became increasingly confident that he "was truly concerned about a relatively small number of hosts he considered to be 'bad actors,' and that the vast majority of our community was never a target of his inquiries. As a result, we came to expect that we would start receiving requests for individual data at a relatively modest level."

Airbnb said the vast majority of the 124 targeted hosts were no longer listed on the site, and those still with the site are hosts with multiple listings. "Without knowing more about why the Attorney General is interested in those hosts specifically, it is hard to know why they have been targeted," the company said. Airbnb did, however, point out that the final number is small (less than one percent) when compared to Schneiderman's original request for data on 15,000+ users.

This is perhaps the culmination of Airbnb's struggles in New York City throughout the last year. In May 2013, a host was fined $2400 for breaking local hotel laws. In October 2013, the company was hit with that subpoena from Schneiderman, asked to provide three years' worth of data on its 15,000+ hosts within NYC. In May 2014, Airbnb complied, giving the New York AG only anonymous data on all those users.

Schneiderman has long suspected that Airbnb hosts in NYC operate residences or parts of their homes like hotels—but without the fire, safety, and tax regulations normally applied to hotels. That would mean hosts could be in violation of a 2010 law that prohibits New Yorkers from renting entire apartments for less than 29 consecutive days. Schneiderman claimed that Airbnb sells itself to investors as a hotel network, but it attempts to keep that pitch out of the public sphere for fear of incurring legal hotel status.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Airbnb is holding a webinar on Monday to talk further with users who may be concerned in light of this disclosure. Until then, the company tried to reassure its hosts within the original announcement.

"While the Attorney General’s Office may request additional information in the coming months, nothing about these hosting profiles suggests he is after anyone but individuals who may be flagrantly misusing our platform," the company said. "We have notified each of the 124 hosts subject to this request individually, so if you have not heard from us this week, your information was not requested. As this process progresses, we will continue to strive to be as transparent as possible."
