STR guests in Monroe County are subject to the same noise rules as permanent residents. There is no separate county noise code for STRs; individual town ordinances and NY State nuisance law apply.
Monroe County does not have a dedicated noise ordinance for short-term rental guests. STR guests must comply with the same local noise ordinances that apply to all residents. Each municipality within Monroe County (towns, villages, cities) enforces its own noise standards. In the City of Rochester, the noise code applies equally to STR guests. Hosts are responsible for ensuring their guests comply with local noise rules. Violations by STR guests can be attributed to the property and host.
