HONOLULU — The number of short-term rental violations issued by the city of Honolulu continues to rise following the implementation of a new ordinance.
City officials have issued 37 violation notices since the law took effect Aug. 1, with more expected in the coming weeks.
The new law makes it illegal to advertise properties for rentals of less than 30 days without a nonconforming-use certificate.
The ordinance also requires owners with certificates to display their registration numbers in advertisements.
Operators have seven days to resolve suspected violations or face an initial fine of $1,000 and daily fines of $1,000 to $10,000.
The notices are part of increased enforcement by the city’s planning and permitting department.
The department says seven of the violations have been corrected.
