I'd be supportive of that.
Many other cities including New Orleans, DC, NYC have enforcement task groups who work to shut this stuff down as it's so problematic.
St. Pete has made it very, very difficult to enforce this law.

Nothing has changed. Still advertising for rental as a daily hotel.
Enforce the Code.

Ad is still active...here is the link to Air BnB with the ad.

Why is the latest status reflecting this short-term rental as "ad was removed" when it clearly was NOT?
This isn't difficult information to find....I suggest that you save the link.

Enforce the code.

Transient renter from Connecticut still staying at this illegal Air BnB....
When will you enforce the code?
Old NE Resident (Registered User)
The AirBnB has been vacant for a week. They checked in on Jan. 07.
This makes it a violation to the 'no less than 30 days' rule.

Except for the fact that it is constantly being "re-let" to new occupants during the same monthly term. The photos confirm this is happening!
Additionally, you require fire code standards for other Bed & Breakfast and small hotel businesses, health inspections and licenses -- but this guy is running what is in essence an illegal hotel and it's allowed.
But, the city continues to do NOTHING except for making excuses.
The City also allowed the illegal building of a second story with zero repercussions. There was never an inspection completed on electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation or structural support. Please do show proof as to where these inspections were done?
For some reason - this guy gets a pass on absolutely everything that no one else in the city of st. Petersburg ever receives.

According to the "30-day Rental Rule" -- no resident is allowed to rent their home more than 3x per year.
This is clearly in excess of that rule - or do you have yet another excuse for why this allowed?
Old NE Resident (Registered User)
Wouldn't renting for less than 30-days violate the 30-day minimum code rule? The purpose and point of the law?
So which is it in regards to the actual Code? No less than 30 days 3x per year--- which is what I was told by the head of Codes--- or just allow the rental of a house as often as you feel like it because Codes won't enforce it anyway?
What's the point of checking the Air BnB calendar for a 30-day rental compliance if you contradict yourself by saying that the less than 30-days rule doesn't really matter?
Besides "checking the AirBnB calendar" -- what exactly has Codes and Zoning actually done to ensure compliance to this law? Based on the amount of activity coming and going from that property -- my best guess is:
Not. Much.

John - it appears that your sole purpose of commenting is to sow discourse and to be argumentative. Whatever the case, since you are moving, you should take your opinions and comments with you.
I don't plan on moving nor should I have to, simply because my city refuses to enforce the existing code.
Nor -- should I simply have to tolerate the bullsh*t I have had to contend with living next to the nightmare that the city has essentially allowed to exist.

My exit strategy is to leave this place, but at the same time the thing I hate most.....Profit mongers crying a poor mouth because the future is next door. Why don't you read the code sometime and see for yourself, all this wine, does not get better with time.
1. Number one, they would need a court order in order to enter the establishment, review the bank records and the history of all rentals....and the city does not have the right to do so.
2. However, if it is advertised clearly for over night use .....I mean advertise....then they clearly have violated code. If they advertise nothing regarding over night, or day or weekend.......rather a preference for people to stay with them for 30 days or more...there is clearly no violation. So that is why there is no code violation even if it clearly occurs in real life which you have to prove without a shadow of a doubt that people are coming and going. However, you cannot violate their right to invade their privacy. Then you have violated the law, and subject to prosecution.
3. Catch 22.

Thank you.
This is a chronic, nuisance property with excessive noise, band practice -- the home owner is a musician and has regular band practice at his residence. Illegal parking in neighbor's driveways from guests renting his house via Air BnB and illegal parking in the alley.
Loud parties with excessive noise.
This issue needs to be resolved.
