St Petersburg FL - Code Violations

[Marianne782]

Looking for hosts who in the past month have been reported to St Petersburg Code Compliance!   Just want to hear feed back - I'm do not have an Airbnb, but I use Airbnb a lot.  My friend is a host in St. Petersburg, she was one of 118 homes that were reported over the course of the month - she lives on the property and this is her only source of income.   It's just made me a little mad for her as  I just don't see the problem if you and your guest are not causing an issue.  Taxes are being paid, tourist are coming to the area and dollars are being spent.   I'd like to swap stories if you got a code violation in the past 30 days and where you stand now.   My friend changed her listing to reflect the 30 days for now.

I am sure it will confirm for your friends how she can operate within the regulations.

Well Marley there are many residence of St. Petersburg that are looking for short term rentals while their houses have been flooded. You are taking away that opportunity. Additionally families that want to come to St. Petersburg to visit their long distance. Relatives have no place to stay now Marley. And let me tell you your work to create affordable. Housing is not working.  Airbnb host will not rent at the rate that you want to pay
