Town Board tables short-term rental enforcement and fines schedule review
Summary
Building department reported January permit revenue and proposed enforcement steps for non-compliant short-term rentals; the board tabled a review of fines and fee schedules to a future meeting.
The Town of Hunter Building/Code Enforcement report for January, acknowledged Feb. 25, showed $9,850 in permit revenue, including four new short-term rental (STR) permits ($3,275), eight STR renewals ($3,350) and three STR fines ($2,600).
The report listed two topics for future consideration: enforcement action for non-compliant STRs (including Town of Hunter Police Department drive-by checks and using building department reports in court) and a review of fines and the fee schedule for construction without a building permit (the report lists the current fee at $100). The board agreed to table the fee-and-fines procedure for a future meeting; no enforcement motion was recorded at this meeting.
Code Enforcement Officer Rose Santiago authored the report attached to the minutes; the board acknowledged it and set the procedural review for a later meeting rather than taking immediate enforcement action.
