Specify the grounds of the appeal I'm appealing on the grounds that this is my first offense to this city ordinance and I was experiencing extreme family difficulties at the time. My youngest daughter was hospitalized on 03/25/205- 03/30/2025. I was physically with my daughter day in and day out in the hospital, I gave the responsibility for the first time to my wife to complete on my behalf. As you may verify, I always file my TOT Tax in a punctual manner every month. My wife had expressed to me that she had completed the Contract summary on March 28,2025. Upon being questioned by the officer Gonzalez about the Contract summary, I then questioned my wife who then proceeded to tell me that she had filed it to the best of her knowledge. Upon further Investigation, I believe my wife may have incorrectly processed the Contract Summary in the system as this was her first time using the website. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience this caused the city and I have implemented changes both on the property and my procedures to prevent this from ever happening again.                     ATTACHMENT 4  Item 6 - Page 18 Item 6 - Page 19 CITY OF PALM SPRINGS Vacation Rental Enforcement Administrative Citation A I DATE DAY OF WEEK TIME AM PM I LOCATION OF VIOLATION I • Agent • Property Owner • Tenant • Other DL or ID -----... . - You are being issued an Administrative Citation for the following Code provision(s).

Yes Please add detailed notes regarding this call: Received report of a party from the VR hotline at 10:04 PM. No contract summary was on file for this stay. The RP requested that we observe the violation from their property. I arrived to the RP property which was directly adjacent to 1569 E Racquet Club Rd at 10:28 PM with Officer Grijalva and Officer Gonzalez and met with the RP. They verified that they would provide us access to thei r back yard to observe the violation and we followed him into his back yard. I observed music being played on a speaker from the back patio of 1569 E Racquet Club Rd and was able to capture a Shazam of the song t itled; " La Mejor Solucion by La Adictiva." I took three decibel readings each two minutes apart from the adjacent property and took photos. I arrived to the front of 1569 E Racquet Club Rd to investigate if th i s property was owner occupied. I called PSPD dispatch and ran plates for the three vehicles in the driveway and took photos. None of the vehicles owners matched the names of the owners of the property. I then contacted the local contact, Ruth Diaz, and asked if the property was owner occupied this weekend. She stated that guests were on site for the weekend and not the owners. I explained that no contract summary was submitted for the stay and the guests were observed playing music and being noisy beyond 10 PM . I asked her to have the responsible guest who booked the stay meet me in front of the property. A short while later we did not see a guest come out so Officer Gonzalez and I approached the door and knocked. A guest came out and spoke with us and we introduced ourselves and the reason for our presence. I asked for him to provide his booking itinerary for his stay this weekend and he showed me his Airbnb Booking itinerary on his cell phone which I took a photo of. The stay was set at this property for the dates of 4/18/25 until 4/21 /25. I asked if he signed any city of Palm Springs rules and regulations documents during his booking process with the owner of the property/operator of the short term rental. He stated that he just booked with Airbnb and didn't sign any other paperwork except what was on Airbnb. I asked for his ID and took a photo of this as well. We provided a good neighbor brochure and explained that we were conducting an investigation on the property and we were able to hear music coming from the back yard. I showed him a screenshot of the Shazam I captured playing from the back yard. He stated that they were playing that song very quietly on a phone and weren't being loud. I explained that this is a citable offense and that we were conducting an further investigation on the property for this event. They seemed to be understanding of the regulations we educated them on regarding quiet hours and amplified sound. He stated that they would immediately bring it inside for the night. We left the property shortly after this conversation. I left the property and wa-owner of the property, Gal Simha, egarding the investigation. I asked w y a contract summary was not submitted for this guest stay. He stated that they completely forgot to Item 6 - Page 36 Is the person occupying the Vacation Rental over night?

I asked if he had the guest sign the vacation rental acknowledgment of the rules and regulatio ns and he stated that they did si gn that document and they understood the rules and regulations regarding amplified sound. I returned to the office and after review of this evidence and I issued citation #A8977 to the responsible renter, Jose Fernando Rosales Valladares, via mail for violation of PSMC 5.25.070 {G) Music Beyond the Property Line. Local contact was contacted at 11 :54 PM with our findings and action taken. Further investigation will be conducted and a citation will be issued for failure to submit a contract summary.

Additional information concerning this violation is reflected below: On Saturday, April 19, 2025, at approximately 10:28 PM, I, along with Code Officer Gonzalez and Code Officer Grijalva, responded to an active nuisance complaint for this property in which a citation was ultimately issued to the responsible renter who also confirmed that he had booked the property on Airbnb.com for a short-term stay. Before responding to the property, a search via the city's recordkeeping database was performed to determine if a contract summary submission was on file for this particular guest stay, and I was unable to locate any submissions. During our response to the property, I received a phone call from the property owner, Gal Simha. at 11: 1 O PM in regards to our response to the property and the observed violations, in which Gal confirmed an active short term stay at the property. During this conversation, I asked Gal why a contract summary was not submitted for this short term stay, which he replied, stating that him and his wife, Erika Simha, must have forgot to submit the contract summary and admitted full responsibility for the failure to submit their contract summary for the short term stay. Upon return to my work desk, a thorough secondary investigation of the city's database was conducted, but again I was unable to locate a contract summary submission for the active short term stay. Upon review of my investigation on, a violation of Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 5.25.070 (H); Failure to Submit a Contract Summary, was determined to exist.

Janice 1 year on Airbnb ***** · 2 weeks ago · Stayed a few nights The home was well stocked and very comfortable with a great outdoor space. Erika responded quickly to all of my questions. It is close to the airport, so lots of planes flying over. We paid to have the poo l heated -so g lad we did as the air temperatures were unseasonably cool. Th e only compla ints we had were that the jacuzzi would not heat past 101 degrees and we were not told about when workers (pool guy, gardeners, and someone moving trash bin s to and from the stre et) wou ld be showing up.

The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with any items we needed. We also loved that pool floaties were available.

There home was beautiful and clean. Communication was great. Location was great. House had everything we needed. The only negative is that the pool heater was broken when we arrived so we were unable to go in the pool/spa the first two/three days because it was too co ld. They had a technician come to fix it and reimbursed us the daily heating cost for those days. However even once fi xed, the pool heater was strong enough to heat the spa well or heat the pool well but it could not do both well simultaneously. We were really looking forward to our baby enjoying the pool but it was often too cold for him. https://www.airbnb .com/rooms/766758122578871580/reviews?search_mode=regular _ search&adults= 1 &check_in=2025-05-04&check_ out=2025-05-0 ... 3/3
