Generally Investor friendly
STRs are explicitly permitted citywide with a reasonable $250 annual fee and no caps, but require moderate permitting (state TPT license, insurance ≥$500k, neighbor notification, EPC within 60 minutes, postings/ads). Enforcement is active with graduated fines and up to 12‑month suspensions, yet clear rules and a 7‑day decision timeline keep compliance manageable for investors.
