Given Union City's effective ban on STRs under Chapter 296, noise concerns from short-term guests also fall under Article IV (Nuisances). Hosts remain responsible for guest behavior. Noise disturbances between 8 PM and 10 AM are prohibited with a minimum $250 fine.
Because Union City prohibits STRs under Chapter 296, Article V, the noise rules for any permitted or tolerated STR activity are governed by Article IV (Nuisances Prohibited). Noise disturbances between 8 PM and 10 AM carry a minimum $250 fine. Hosts are responsible for ensuring guests comply with noise rules. In Union City's extremely dense residential environment, noise from rental guests is particularly impactful. The Police Department and Code Enforcement both handle noise complaints. Violations can be filed by any affected neighbor.
Noise disturbance during quiet hours: minimum $250 fine under Article IV. Hosts face enforcement as property owners.
