Penn Hills does not impose parking regulations specific to short-term rental operations. STR properties and their guests follow the same parking rules as all residents. Most residential streets in Penn Hills allow on-street parking without permits, though individual streets may have posted restrictions enacted by Council ordinance (for example, Dogwood Drive restrictions under Ordinance No. 2076 of October 2024). Vehicles left on a public street for more than 48 hours may be considered abandoned under PA Vehicle Code Section 4513.60 and subject to towing. Penn Hills Chapter 478 prohibits nuisance or abandoned vehicles on both public and private property. The municipal zoning code does not require additional off-street parking spaces beyond what the underlying residential use already requires. Hosts should provide clear parking instructions to guests, especially for driveway capacity and any restricted neighboring streets. Operating or parking a vehicle on any street for the primary purpose of advertising is prohibited.
