Los Angeles revokes Home-Sharing registrations after three citations within twelve months. A revoked host is barred from re-registering for three years, and unruly-gathering citations under LAMC §41.40 also count toward the strike total under LAMC §12.22 A.32(c)(8).
LAMC §12.22 A.32(c)(8) authorizes the Department of City Planning to revoke a Home-Sharing registration when a host accumulates three administrative citations within any rolling 12-month period. Citations may stem from operating without registration, exceeding 120 night-caps, advertising without a registration number, or unruly-gathering violations under LAMC §41.40. Revocation triggers a three-year ban on submitting a new HSR registration for the same host or property. Hosts receive notice and may appeal to the Office of Zoning Administration before revocation becomes final, but penalties continue to accrue during appeal.
Each citation carries fines from $500 to $8,000 per day. After three strikes, registration is revoked and re-registration is blocked for three years.
