Challenging to Investors
STRs are allowed citywide as a conditional special use but require two costly, multi‑step approvals (STR permit and special use permit), SEQR environmental review, site plan and floor plans, and mandatory inspections plus annual renewals; fees are tiered up to $2,500 for non‑residents with only modest renewal fees; a local 24/7 manager, strict occupancy/parking limits, detailed advertising/operational rules, and ongoing fire/maintenance inspections create meaningful compliance burden, while the village appears supportive but rigorous, pushing risk into the higher‑end of challenging.
