Occupancy in McKeesport STRs follows PA UCC/IPMC standards: 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional. No McKeesport-specific STR occupancy cap, but building code occupancy limits apply.
McKeesport has no STR-specific occupancy ordinance, so the default is the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) §404 adopted through the PA Uniform Construction Code. The general formula is 2 persons per sleeping room plus 2 additional, with minimum floor area of 70 sq ft for the first occupant and 50 sq ft for each additional per bedroom. Overcrowding violations are enforced by McKeesport Code Enforcement. The PA Fire Code adopted under 34 Pa. Code §403.21 also imposes occupant load limits based on exits and square footage; for a typical residential dwelling these rarely trigger before the IPMC limit. Smoke detectors in each sleeping room, CO detectors outside sleeping areas, and a fire extinguisher are recommended for any STR under UCC and PA Act 1 of 2014 (CO detectors). Insurance carriers often impose their own occupancy caps for STR endorsements.
Overcrowding violations $100-$1,000 per day under the IPMC and McKeesport Code Chapter 301. Life safety violations (missing smoke/CO detectors) bring additional UCC citations and can void insurance coverage.
