Opportunity to Provide Feedback To the City on Short-Term Rental Enforcement

A Message from the Bel-Air/Beverly Crest Neighborhood Council:

SHORT-TERM RENTAL CRIME. ONE FATALITY AND 3 INJURIES AT AIRBNB RENTAL, 13200 MULHOLLAND DRIVE, AUGUST 4, 2020.

OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO THE CITY ON SHORT TERM RENTAL ENFORCEMENT

In 2019 Los Angeles's home sharing ordinance went into effect. This ordinance had many provisions that were meant to mitigate quality of life issues that short-term rentals can bring, with relatively strict regulations and a robust program of fines protecting residents.

Constituents in our neighborhoods had concerns about enforcement prior to the ordinance going into effect, and many of those worries have proved to be quite well-founded.

Councilmembers Raman, Koretz, Bonin and Blumenfeld recently introduced a motion asking City Planning, the department that administers the program, to report back on ways to provide better enforcement.

This motion will be heard by the Planning and Land Use Management Committee this coming Tuesday, February 1 at 2:00 pm.

If you'd like to comment on short-term rental enforcement, for example by reporting on issues you have had with short-term rentals, you may do so in two ways.

First, you may make a written comment to the Council File. You may do this now. You don't have to wait for the hearing.

You may also view and call in to the meeting. You can find out how to do both by reviewing the agenda for the meeting. The motion is item number 3.

Remember that if you want better enforcement you are FOR the motion.

Interested in BABCNC's feedback on the motion? You can find that here.

If the Planning and Land Use Committee passes this motion, it will then be heard by the Housing Committee before going back to Council.
