In issuing a short-term rental permit, the Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer may impose such reasonable conditions and restrictions as are directly related to and incidental to the use of the property for short-term rentals so long as such conditions and restrictions are consistent with the requirements of the Village of Waterloo Code Regulations and are imposed for the purpose of minimizing any adverse impact the issuance of the short-term rental permit may have on the neighborhood or community.

The Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer may decline an application for any of the following reasons:

Short-term rental permits issued pursuant to this section shall state the following:

The issuance of a short-term rental permit is subject to continued compliance with the requirements of these regulations.

Prior to any tenants coming onto the short-term rental property:

The owners must ensure that current and accurate information is provided to the Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer and that they notify the Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer immediately upon any information contained on the permit changing. If, based on such changes, the Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer issues an amended short-term rental permit, the owners must immediately replace the permit displayed inside and near the front entrance of the short- term rental with the amended permit and must immediately provide a copy of the amended permit to every adjacent property owner and to every property owner within 150 feet of the short-term rental property (whether on the same side of the road, across the street or behind the subject property).

The complaining party shall first attempt to contact the contact person designated on the permit, describe the problem and indicate the desired remedy.

The contact person shall, within 12 hours of receiving the complaint, respond to the complaint and remedy as soon as reasonably possible any situation that is out of compliance with these regulations or with the permit for the property.

If the response is not satisfactory to the complaining party (including the inability to promptly reach the contact person), the complaining party may file a complaint with the Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer by submitting a written complaint including the date, time and nature of the alleged violation as well as a statement that the complainant either unsuccessfully attempted to contact the contact person or did contact the contact person but the complaint was not adequately resolved. A failure to attempt to contact the contact person will not excuse a violation.

If the Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer finds a violation of the permit or of this section, the Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer may do any of the following depending on the circumstances:

Should a permit be revoked, none of the owners of the short-term rental property may obtain any short-term rental permit sooner than one year after the date of revocation.

The Village may initiate enforcement proceedings under this chapter at any time following receipt of a complaint.

Decisions of the Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer will be provided to the parties and may be appealed, within 30 days of receipt of the decision, by the owner or by the complainant to the Vacation Rental Grievance Board, appointed by the Village of Waterloo Board, consisting of one Village Board member, one Village resident who holds a short-term rental permit, and one Planning Board member who does not hold a short-term rental permit. The appealing owner or complainant shall make a written request for a hearing to the Village Clerk, and the Vacation Rental Grievance Board shall hear the appeal within 15 days of the request, during which time the decision of the Code Enforcement Officer shall be stayed. At the hearing, the Vacation Rental Grievance Board shall accept evidence offered by the property owner, the complaining party, Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer and any other witness with relevant evidence. The Vacation Rental Grievance Board shall make its decision within 10 days of the hearing, and may uphold the Village of Waterloo Code Enforcement Officer's decision, reject it, or modify it.

Any property owner found in willful violation of the provisions of this section shall be required to reimburse the Village for its reasonable costs of enforcement, including reimbursement for staff time and reasonable attorney's fees.

All complaints shall be logged by the Enforcement Officer and attached to the permit copy at the Village office. They are for the purpose of review when the application is up for renewal.
