My apartment building is forcing everyone to use key fobs for entry to the building in a few weeks. I frequently airbnb my apartment so this is obviously a concern. Any ideas to dup a key fob in NYC?

I think they're supposed to give you the option to get a second fob. My building charges $50 for another one. I would just lie and say you lost it.

Be careful because they might shut off your original FOB to make sure an unauthorized person isn't using it. Make up some story about needing an additional FOB for some reason (cleaning lady comes every other day, mom, dad, sibling, babysitter, dog walker stops in frequently, etc.)

Does you apartment allow airbnb? That's prob why they are instituting the fob

Most Airbnb's are illegal in NYC, however there's no real enforcement (yet)

You can get a second fob, they cost $20 or so.

No they aren't lol I've airbnbed once - I realize I said frequently but I'm really just planning on airbnbing for my 3 vacations planned through the end of the year!

Ya it seems like saying I lost it is the only option.

Problem with that is you have to send the key in which is the only key I have. I really need a kiosk for that duplication to work

I don't see how they can deny you a second fob. People have partners who they want to have access, or dog walkers, etc... seems crazy.

Alternatively I could say I lost it after a week or so.

They won't provide more than 1. Can I get it copied somewhere?

The fob isn't going to fix the airbnb issue. You have to give me a fob if I lose it. And even if I didn't get 2 separate fobs, I can drop off keys at keyExchange and get the fob to the airbnb person that is staying. Just a hassle

Go to eBay and search for fob cloner. They are cheap. Just make sure you get the right one for your fob line

Yep D1. Op should be able to get it

Is your mailbox behind where you fob in? If not then you could lock it in your mailbox and just dupe your mailbox key

Nope it is after.. they have consistently said only official residents of the apartment building are going to be given a key fob. No exceptions. Trust me I have complained
