APPEALS
BOARD OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, ON THE APPEAL
OF
KIMBERLY KEYS AND KENNETH ROSENFELD FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED
AT 2965 E. AVERY DR., UNIT F, PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA REGARDING
ADMINISTRATIVE CITATION AB0366 ISSUED IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000
AND
THE PERMANENT INELIGIBILITY TO OPERATE A VACATION RENTAL IN THE
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS.”
I live adjacent to 2965 F E. Avery Drive.
I had been noticing people going into the unit, staying for a few days and
then leaving. I would observe, and occasionally speak the the woman who
cleans the unit in-between visitors. She agreed that she was there “ a lot.”
I noticed her cleaning sheets in the washer and dryer which are located in
the garage (she had the garage door open). This had been going on for a
long time and so since I have a “RING” doorbell, started to document
specific dates of this situation. Other homeowners have complained about
the numerous people in and out of that unit.
Here is what I documented (which was to the best of my ability):
1.Monday, 3/21/22 the cleaning lady was there.
2.Thurs. 3/24/2022 the cleaning lady was there and
3.Thursday, 3/24/22- new people arrived.
4.Monday, 3/28/22 - the cleaning lady was there prior to new people
arriving (although I hadn’t noticed) the new people.
5.Wednesday, 3/30/22 the cleaning lady was there.
6. Saturday, 4/2/22 new people arrived.
7.Monday, 4/4/22 the cleaning lady was there.
8.Wednesday, 4/6/22 new people arrived.
9.Sunday 4/10/22 cleaning lady was there and
10.Sunday, 4/10 2022 new people arrived later in the day.
11.Monday, 4/18/2022 the cleaning lady was there.
(I was out of town for a few weeks after that so began documenting again
after returning).
12. Thursday, 5/12 new people arrived
13. Saturday 5/14/2022 new people left and new
people arrived in the evening.
Apparently, there are people there now as notice that the lights are on and
off.
The additional thing I would like to mention is that in conjunction with the
City’s rules regarding short-term rentals, this practice is also a violation in
our HOA’s governing documents (CC&R’s).
Thank you
