Repeat vacation rental violator faces hefty fines
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing violations related to vacation rental permits, focusing on a specific property owned by an LLC. The discussion highlighted a case where the owner had previously agreed to cease advertising their rental listings after being flagged by the rental software system. Despite receiving a notice on September 18 and subsequently removing the listing on October 20, the owner has not submitted a new application for a vacation rental permit.

The magistrate was presented with an affidavit confirming the owner's commitment to comply with regulations, yet it was noted that the owner had never obtained the necessary permit in the first place. This situation has led to multiple violations, each subject to fines. The owner has a history of similar infractions, having faced code enforcement actions for ten properties last year, which were brought before the magistrate for operating without permits.

The magistrate sought clarification on whether there had been prior orders against the LLC in question, as this would influence the severity of potential fines. The discussion underscored the importance of verifying the repeat nature of the violations to determine appropriate penalties. The officials acknowledged the complexity of the case, particularly regarding the classification of the violations and the implications for future enforcement actions.
