Several Westchester municipalities apply a three-strikes rule under which three substantiated noise, occupancy, or zoning violations within a twelve-month period result in revocation of the short-term-rental permit and a multi-year ban on re-registration.
Three-strikes STR enforcement is common in Westchester villages with active vacation-rental markets. Each substantiated complaint, whether police noise call, building-department occupancy violation, or unpaid hotel-tax citation, counts as a strike. After three strikes within twelve months, the local building department revokes the permit and bars re-registration for one to three years. The host's name may also be flagged on a county or state registry under the pending A8284 framework. Strikes do not reset on ownership transfer if the dwelling itself was the source of repeated complaints.
Three substantiated violations in twelve months trigger automatic permit revocation, a one-to-three-year re-registration ban, and listing on local violator rolls.
