Codes Compliance 6 assigned this issue to Rob G

Hi...why is this business allowed to continue to operate without a business license and in such a way that is prohibited according to our zoning? Advertising is still active on booking.com.

What's happening with this file? This business is still booking rooms in a way that's prohibited per zoning, and without a business license.

They have been given through 11/28/2017. They received an extension to comply??? Who thinks that this should be allowed to continue under an extension?

Don't know why they would be able to get an extension for a zoning violation. Did not see alot of details under the case file. Maybe the city can explain the violation.

So not zoned for this activity and saw no inspection report if the property was ever inspected for building, fire or saftey
Codes for a bed and breakfast / hostel. So giving them an extension is dangerous on so many legal areas of liability.

Ownership seams to be professional business people so they had to know they were tring to fly under the radar. So how long is the extension? And if they want to apply for a variance how long can that take and will they keep operating?

Extension expires tomorrow. They are still actively advertising the availability of a one night stay. Codes has not made any new entries since October 24th, when they were found to be in violation of zoning and operating a business without a license and still given an extension to apply for a variance.

December 6th update ~ Per Zoning, no application on file for Change of Use or request for a variance change. They are still actively advertising and apparently renting rooms for less than 30 days. In fact, the default that shows is 3 days.

Codes Department
Please update us on this case

Codes has referred the property to our Code Enforcement Board for legal action as they have not been given approval from the city.

The litter on the 49th Street side of this property is accumulating to become a nuisance.

I just saw this re-zoning was approved!! I'd like to know why was this allowed and were we as a community given an opportunity to voice our opinions of having this parcel re-zoned? The owners purchased this property, set up a business without proper licensing, and ran the business contrary to our zoning ordinances and they get a pass?

The issue that you reported previously has been addressed by the City, and this open work order is now closed. Please feel free to submit future requests to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete, and thanks again!
