STR guests in Saratoga County must follow local noise codes. Saratoga Springs City Code §174 caps evening noise at 55 dBA; multiple complaints trigger STR permit review under Chapter 136. Race-season party houses are a common enforcement target.
Short-term rentals across Saratoga County are subject to the same noise codes as any other dwelling, but Saratoga Springs Chapter 136 makes the STR permit conditional on guest compliance. More than two documented noise complaints in a 12-month window can trigger permit revocation hearings. Quiet hours run 10 PM to 7 AM under Saratoga Springs §174-5, with daytime max 65 dBA and nighttime max 55 dBA at the property line. Clifton Park Town Code §111 and Halfmoon §110 set similar standards. Party occupancy is typically capped at 2 x bedrooms + 2 under fire code. NYRA race-season rentals (late July through Labor Day) draw heavy complaints on Union Ave, East Ave, and North Broadway. NY Penal Law §240.20 (disorderly conduct) may apply for severe disturbances.
Noise violation: $250 to $500 per incident. STR permit revocation after 2+ substantiated complaints within 12 months. Party/occupancy overrun: additional $500 fire code penalty and guest eviction.
