Hartford Chapter 17 establishes a graduated enforcement system where repeated short-term rental code violations escalate to registration suspension or revocation under a strikes framework.
Hartford Development Services tracks Chapter 17 violations against each registered short-term rental address. Documented infractions for noise complaints, occupancy overages, parking violations, unpaid lodging tax, or operating without registration accumulate as strikes. After a defined threshold within a rolling twelve-month period, the city may suspend the registration; further accumulated strikes can lead to revocation and a multi-year ban on re-registration at that address. The framework targets repeat offenders disrupting residential neighborhoods while permitting first-time hosts to correct minor compliance issues without losing registration.
Accumulating multiple substantiated violations within twelve months can trigger registration suspension, revocation, and a multi-year prohibition on re-registering the same address under Hartford Chapter 17 enforcement.
