Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lodging House Problem in Boston
The lodging-house of any sort has claimed comparatively little attention in the literature of the housing question, and the room ing-house specifically has fared still worse. The only definition we have been able to find, outside the dictionaries, is the following: A lodging-house shall be taken to mean and include any house or building or portion thereof in which persons are harbored, or received, or lodged for hire, for a single night or for less than a week at one time, or any part of which is let for any person to sleep in for any term less than a week. 2 This is the definition given in the original New York tenement-house law of 1867 (chap. 908, sec. And it has been continued through all the subsequent acts with out change. It excludes the rooming-house, where the ordinary rental period is a week or a month, but which is commonly called a lodging-house, and in some cities is never called anything else. A definition so at variance with common usage is obviously defect ive, and may be positively misleading.
