The feature — which rolls out in Japan first and worldwide in the coming weeks — will let neighbors air their grievances on unruly renters, which Airbnb’s customer-support team will then review. Last year, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop made an attempt to legalize Airbnb in Jersey City. —Bloomberg Business
