Manhattan property owner Hank Freid and real estate broker Tatiana Cames were the first people hit with violations under a new law that aims to curb illegal Airbnb listings.

Fried and Cames were fined for advertising units in properties on the Upper West Side and in Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. In total, they were issued 17 violations, with each carrying a fine of $1,000, according to a report in the New York Post. The law was passed last year, but only became enforceable last week.

The city cited Freid, who manages the Marrakech Hotel in Manhattan, with 12 infractions for listing single-room-occupancy units in that building on several websites.

Cames, who has worked for Corcoran Real Estate, was slapped with five violations for listing five units at 320 Macon St., which she purchased for $2.15 million in 2015, in Brooklyn. That building was found to have inadequate fire alarms, sprinklers and illegal subdivisions, according to the Post.

Freid’s lawyer told the Post that the law was inappropriately applied, and that his client would fight the allegations in court.
