Has anyone applied for a Jersey City short-term rental permit under the new ordinance that was passed last year? Have you received a permit or otherwise been contacted about it?
They city said that anyone who had a permit application pending could continue operating, so we submitted ours, but haven't heard anything at all. A message on the Dept of Housing Preservation web site says they're only doing emergency inspections during the COVID-19 crisis, and so I guess they won't be issuing any permits, since the permit process includes an inspection, but it's unclear if they're even processing applications.
The ordinance requires that listings for short-term rentals in JC include the property's short-term rental permit number, but I haven't seen any listings with permit numbers, which makes me wonder if any permits have been issued or if the bureaucracy is still gearing up.
