Board finds short-term rental violations at 768 NE 72nd St and imposes $10,000 fine
Summary
After hearing an affidavit of compliance and testimony that short-term rental and permitting violations were cured, the board adjudicated guilt and set a $10,000 mitigation in a case involving a non-homestead property used for short-term renting.
The board adjudicated a case involving a single-family property used as a short-term rental and imposed a mitigated fine of $10,000 after considering an affidavit of compliance and the owner's post-violation steps.
Attorney Michael Pardo, representing the owner, told the board he had submitted evidence that the short-term rental violation and permitting issues were resolved and provided an affidavit from the inspector documenting cure as of April 4, 2024. "If you look at line 2, the Inspector notes that he conducted an inspection, and he determined that the violation was actually cured effective as of 04/04/2024," Pardo said, urging the board to weigh that in mitigation.
Board members debated whether to exercise unanimous discretion to reduce the lien to zero but discussed the owner's earlier violation and the city's position that the property remained a commercial, non-homestead use. A motion was made to adjudicate guilt and mitigate to $10,000; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The clerk directed staff to prepare an order reflecting the adjudication and the mitigation amount.
