Rochester STR properties must provide adequate parking for guests. Off-street parking requirements apply based on the number of bedrooms. Guest vehicles must not block sidewalks, fire hydrants, or create congestion in residential neighborhoods.
The STR permit process includes review of available parking. Properties must demonstrate adequate off-street parking for the number of guest bedrooms. The occupancy formula is 2 per bedroom plus 2, with a maximum of 12 guests. Guest parking must comply with all city street parking regulations. Snow emergency parking bans require vehicles to be moved from designated routes.
Parking violations are addressed through the noise/nuisance complaint process. Hosts receive warnings for first offenses, with fines of $100–$250 for repeat issues that affect the STR permit status.
