Hamburg Village, NY Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Section 250-23.22(G)(10) of the Village of Hamburg Code restricts occupancy of every short-term rental to two persons per bedroom, with a maximum occupancy of eight people per short-term rental dwelling unit. The cap applies to the dwelling unit as a whole, so no rental in the Village earns a limit above eight. Subsection (G)(12) lets the Village use the assessment records of the Village of Hamburg and the Town of Hamburg to determine the number of bedrooms, and the registration application requires a floor plan marking every bedroom, bath, community room and kitchen.

Occupancy sits beside several related standards in § 250-23.22(G). Parties, weddings, catered events, large gatherings, tailgating and similar events are prohibited under (G)(8). Quiet hours run from 10:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. under (G)(4). Owners must write house rules, post them inside the rental and submit them with the registration application, and the rules must address fighting, violence, tumultuous or threatening behavior, unreasonable noise, and abusive or obscene language or gestures in public. A manager or agent must be reachable 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and able to respond within 30 minutes. That contact information goes to the operators of all residential uses located within 100 feet of the rental's boundaries under (G)(9). Only one short-term rental use is allowed per dwelling unit under (G)(5). The Chief of Police can recommend revocation or non-renewal where a rental becomes a neighborhood nuisance through frequent calls for police service, an egregious criminal offense or suspected criminal activity.
