Pittsburgh's Permits, Licenses, and Inspections bureau may suspend or revoke a limited-lodging license when an operator accumulates repeated nuisance, occupancy, or life-safety violations at the same short-term rental property.
Ordinance 2018-1571 lets PLI take escalating enforcement against problem STRs. Repeated noise, occupancy, parking, trash, or party-house complaints can trigger inspections, fines under Title 7, and eventual license revocation. PLI also coordinates with the Bureau of Police on persistent nuisance addresses. Revoked operators typically face a waiting period before reapplying, and properties with revoked licenses cannot be re-listed by the same owner under a different account. Public complaint logs feed the strike calculus.
Three or more substantiated nuisance, occupancy-cap, or safety violations within a rolling period can trigger suspension, public hearing, license revocation, and reapplication waiting periods.
