I stayed for well under $200 per night at a 4* Crowne Plaza last week. And during the lowest season, it gets even better. For example, the Intercontinental Barclay was available for less than $150 per night for most dates in early February through early March 2017. Not via some obscure OTA, but directly via the chain.

This is an extremely low risk proposition. I would do AirBnB in a heartbeat.

My building forced every apartment on Airbnb to close up shop within a week, some Airbnb folks were evicted during this period as well. I know some of my neigboring buildings have done similar. Enforcement happens more than you think and people renting illegal apartments in NYC are at risk. Not to mention that encouraging people to break laws is not a good way to visit a place

There are other articles out there as well, if you are interested. Also, most buildings don’t send out press releases when something like this happens.
