I was fined $5,000 for renting my home on a vacation basis without the proper permit 2. Specify the grounds of the appeal/ Especlfique los motivos de la apelaci6n. I am so, so sorry about this, and I am willing to do whatever I have to do to rectify this. I bought this dilapidated house about 8 years ago in Demuth Park. I am a teacher, a single-father who raised 5 kids, and I saved many years to renovate my Palm Springs house, making a weekend get-away for me and my kids, and to prepare for a retirement home. I had never anticipated renting it out. l am not a landlord or rental company. I am not a wealthy man, and obviously Demuth Park is one of Palm Spring's lower-property value neighborhoods, but I have had a home there for over l O years and was one of the home owners to begin gentrification. ( continued on additional sheet of paper attached). 3. Specify the relief you are seeking / Especifique el alivio que busca. I make a teacher's salary and still have one child in college. Please consider forgiving my $5K fine which is a ton of money to me, and allow me to submit my fees and application to rent my house 41Page Item 3 - 142. Specify the grounds of the appeal, continued. I finished the renovation last January during COVID. By the end of summer, friends had convinced me I should at least try renting it short-term and see if that worked for me since my job as a teacher and my weekend job as a minister at a church in San Diego wasn't allowing me to get out as much as I had anticipated. Several acquaintances referred a local Palm Spring house manager that could help me with obtaining permits, cleaning and managing the property. Over the next months, I paid him thousands of dollars. He provided a certificate, fitted my house with fire/CO detectors, first-aid kits, fire extinguishers, etc, and eventually told me I was ready to rent. I can provide proofs of monies paid, text chains, etc. It ended badly. Eventually I, and several other clients, realized he was a meth addict. He disappeared from town having stolen from several of us and leaving our homes a mess having lived there illegally when renters weren't there. I did not realize until I received my fine from the city that my permits were not valid. I have filled out all the necessary paperwork. I have talked with electricians, contractors, ready to do whatever I need to do to rectify this. Please know that I was not trying to do something illegal. I thought I had obtained proper permit with my house mgt service. I was not trying to hide anything. I was listed publicly on AirBnb thinking all was good.
