HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe_ Admin Appeals Board re 3149 E Ventura_Redacted4/20/2023
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide input and feedback regarding this
rental property at 3149 E Ventura Road in Palm Springs.
Being contiguous neighbors, we would like to cite examples of why this has been a
bothersome rental property to the neighborhood for several years. The following is a
sampling of what we have been dealing with over the years:
- Several calls/complaints to City re noise, loud music, other renter violations, some
resulting in citations, others a warning
- One inebriated renter literally voiced to neighbor that he was informed to tell Code
Officer he was family and not show ID
- Many instances of refuse in our yards, e.g. champagne bottle tops, fireworks, pool toys
- One specific instance of a female renter mid-afternoon shouting out, “Let’s mf’ing
party, and music began to blare (a citation resulted)
- Loud acts of sex being performed in back yard heard by neighbors (was in fact the
owners)
- Owner going to police station to find out who was complaining to City about her
property, then harassing one neighbor accusing them of calling City
Next topic, the owner’s failure to adhere to City Rules regarding STR’s. As per
attachments, she advertises on Airbnb four bedrooms and nine guests, which is not
conforming to Rules, and obviously contributes to the many parties that took place.
Secondly, she advertises “No Occupancy Tax,” which is in direct violation of Rule
3.24.050 Operator’s Duties.
Over the course of time there have been eight citations issued, so a definite pattern has
been established. Additionally, there were instances where warnings only were
issued. The last citation on 3/23/23 was issued by Agent Ingram after suspension,
which suspension became effective on 2/20/23. So the disregard for City Rules
continues as the house is continuing to be rented even after suspension. That clearly
violates Rule 5.25.090 Violations, section (c)
Hopefully that paints enough of a picture for the Board to see the issues the neighbors
have been dealing with for several years now. There are other STR houses around us
which are run very professionally and efficiently and create literally no problems
whatsoever. Once again, thank you for your time and consideration.
