Pasadena does not have specific STR occupancy limits in its code. Occupancy is limited by the International Residential Code's bedroom and egress requirements as adopted in the city's building code. Excessive occupancy creating noise or parking issues may trigger Code Enforcement action.
The City of Pasadena does not have a standalone short-term rental ordinance with specific occupancy limits. Practical occupancy limits come from the International Residential Code requirements for bedroom size, emergency egress, and fire safety as adopted in the city's building code (Chapter 9). The city's noise ordinance (Sec. 20-1) applies to STR guests — sound exceeding 75 dB(A) at any property boundary or 5 dB above ambient at residential property during quiet hours (10 PM-7 AM) is a violation. Excessive occupancy creating parking or noise problems may trigger Code Enforcement action.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Pasadena code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
