Almost all full-space(that is, not staying in an extra bedroom while the owner is present) air bnb units in NYC are illegal. Subletting is usually legal, unless stated in your lease, but there are laws against short term stays(< 30 days).
NYC might be an exception as it seems like subletting is a big thing there.
