Detroit's STR ordinance imposes a three-strike framework: three substantiated violations in 12 months trigger automatic registration revocation and a two-year ban from re-registering at any Detroit address.
BSEED tracks substantiated nuisance, noise, occupancy, and tax-remittance violations against each STR registration. Per Title 21 Art. 8, three confirmed violations within a rolling 12-month period trigger automatic revocation, a two-year prohibition on the operator obtaining any new Detroit STR registration, and notification to the Wayne County Treasurer flagging the property for elevated nuisance abatement scrutiny. The operator may appeal to the Buildings Department director within 14 days. Strike notices are public records published on the BSEED enforcement dashboard, allowing neighbors and platforms to verify status before bookings.
Three substantiated violations in 12 months: revocation + 2-year operator ban. Listing on platforms after revocation: $5,000 per night and possible misdemeanor charge.
