Anaheim STR operators must ensure guests comply with noise ordinances under AMC 6.70/6.73. A local contact must respond within 45 minutes to complaints 24/7. Repeat noise violations can result in permit revocation.
AMC Chapter 4.05 requires STR operators to designate a local contact person who can respond to reported concerns and complaints within 45 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All STR guests must comply with Anaheim's noise ordinance: quiet hours 10 PM to 7 AM under AMC 6.73, and the 60 dBA stationary source limit under AMC 6.70. Party noise at STRs triggers the same police response procedures as other residential properties. STR operators are responsible for providing guests with house rules including noise restrictions. The minimum 3-night stay requirement under AMC 4.05 is designed to reduce frequent turnover and party-related disturbances. Repeat noise complaints may result in permit review and potential revocation. The permit holder, not individual guests, is responsible for ensuring compliance.
Noise violation at STR: citation to permit holder. Failure of contact to respond in 45 min: permit violation. Repeat violations: permit revocation.
