(11) Parking shall be on site and shall be limited to 1.5 cars per bedroom, rounded up to the nearest whole number. On-street parking spaces shall not be included in this calculation.

Full Breakdown
Section 250-23.22(G)(11) of the Village of Hamburg Code sets the parking cap for every registered short-term rental. Parking shall be on site, and the limit is 1.5 cars per bedroom, rounded up to the nearest whole number. On-street parking spaces are not included in the calculation, so a curb space in front of the house neither satisfies nor adds to the allowance. The vehicles and the parking area must also comply with all applicable sections of Chapter 250 and the Village Code. That includes § 250-24.9, which controls where vans and trucks of more than one-ton carrying capacity, trailers, campers and boats are kept in residential districts.
The bedroom count is not left to the host's word. Subsection (G)(12) allows the assessment records of the Village of Hamburg and the Town of Hamburg to be used to determine the number of bedrooms. The registration application, filed with the Village Clerk, must include a site plan of the property and a floor plan of the building showing all bedrooms, baths, community rooms and kitchens. Before a certificate issues, the Superintendent of Public Works and the Code Enforcement Officer inspect the premises, and every short-term rental is subject to yearly inspection under (G)(2). Registrations are annual: payment is due on or before June 1 and the certificate expires May 31 of the following year. This rule is a Village of Hamburg Board of Trustees measure. The surrounding Town of Hamburg has its own separate code.
Violations & Fines
Operating without a certificate of registration brings a written notice of violation from the Code Enforcement Officer with an order to cease operation. Each day of non-compliance with that order is a separate violation under § 250-23.22(F)(2). For a rental that breaks a standard, the Code Enforcement Officer can allow 10 days to cure before recommending revocation, and the owner has 10 days from receipt of the revocation notice to appeal to the Village Board. Zoning violations carry a fine not exceeding $250 or up to 15 days in jail for a first offense under § 250-18.2(C).
