Suffolk County does not maintain a countywide three-strikes registry for short-term rental violators. East End towns enforce escalating penalties, and Southampton plus East Hampton can revoke a rental registry permit after two or three confirmed violations within a defined window.
No county ordinance creates a strike system for short-term rental hosts. East Hampton Town Code Chapter 199 authorizes the Town Board to revoke a rental registry permit after repeated violations and bars the property from re-registration for two years. Southampton Town Chapter 270 imposes graduated fines starting at $1,500 and escalating to $8,000 plus permit revocation on the third infraction within three years. Southold and Riverhead use similar progressive enforcement. The Suffolk County Police Department, in the western five towns, refers chronic nuisance complaints to local code enforcement rather than the county Department of Health Services.
Three confirmed violations of a town short-term rental code typically trigger permit revocation, two-year ineligibility, and fines of $8,000 each under East Hampton and Southampton schedules.
