Full Breakdown
GJMC 21.04.030(d)(5)(vi)(B)(d) requires the owner of a short-term rental to post detailed notice, in a highly visible, readily accessible location, of noise restrictions and quiet hours, one item in a required posting list that also covers building exits, a 24-hour emergency contact, parking restrictions, trash pickup, maximum occupancy, and the permit number. The Code backs the posted notice with a real enforcement lever tied to guest behavior rather than a numeric decibel standard in this subsection: under GJMC 21.04.030(d)(5)(vii)(A)(e), the City may suspend or revoke a short-term rental permit where it has received excessive and substantial complaints from neighbors or other affected persons that the owner or the designated local responsible party did not adequately and timely address.
That responsible-party requirement matters here because GJMC 21.04.030(d)(5)(v) obligates every owner to designate a local person, within a 20-mile radius with a 24-hour contact number, who is responsible for immediately responding to complaints about violations of law or permit terms, including noise complaints from neighbors during a stay.
Violations & Fines
Unaddressed, substantial noise complaints are an independent ground for permit suspension or revocation under GJMC 21.04.030(d)(5)(vii)(A)(e), following 10 days' written notice to the owner and a Director decision within 10 days of the owner's response. Failing to post the required noise notice at all is a failure to meet the general STR requirements and is also a Title 21 code violation, carrying a civil penalty of $100 to $1,000 per day capped at $10,000 under GJMC 21.13.050(c).
