Deregistration.

Kansas City Code § 56-804

in effect

Sec. 56-804. - Deregistration. (a) Resident short-term rental failure to maintain primary residence. Any resident-short- term rental registered under this article may be deregistered under this article when, in the determination of the director, the registrant for such short-term rental fails to maintain their primary residence on the parcel where such dwelling unit is located. Upon deregistration pursuant to this subsection, the formerly registered short-term rental may be eligible to register again after submitting a new fee and demonstrating eligibility under section 56-803 or 56-812. (b) One-year deregistration for impairment to public health and safely or welfare. A short-term rental shall be removed from the city's list of registered short-term rentals, deemed not in compliance with this article and ineligible to use any registration previously issued by the city and shall not be eligible to register again with the city for a period of one year if one or more violations of this Code, state or federal law occurred in the course of operating such short-term rental that the director determines to have impaired public health and safety or the welfare of the surrounding area and/or city, based upon a consideration of the factors in subsection (d) of this section. (c) Three-year deregistration for present and pervasive threat to or disregard for public health and safety or welfare. A short-term rental shall be removed from the city's list of registered short-term rentals, deemed not in compliance with this article and ineligible to use any registration previously issued by the city pursuant to section 56-803 or 56-812 and shall not be eligible to register again with the city for a period of three years if three or more violations of this Code, state or federal law occurred in the course of operating such short-term rental, and the director determines the operation of the short term rental poses a present and pervasive threat to or disregard for public health and safety or the welfare of the surrounding area and/or city, based upon a consideration of the factors in subsection (d) of this section. (d) Factors the director will consider in determining any one- or three-year deregistration. In determining whether an impairment to public health and safety or welfare exists pursuant to subsection (b) or whether a present and pervasive threat to or disregard for public health and safety or welfare exists pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, the director will consider the following: (1) The nature and extent of the violations of this Code, state or federal law; (2) The impact of any violations of this Code, state or federal law upon innocent parties; (3) Actions taken by the owner, registrant or other agent of the short-term rental to abate any violations of this Code, state or federal law; (4) The physical characteristics of the property where the short-term rental is located, including the proximity of the property to residential property, parks, churches, schools and playgrounds; (5) Whether any harassing or intimidating conduct, as prohibited by law, was committed or permitted by the owner, registrant, or other agent of the short-term rental; (6) The extent of any street or sidewalk congestion caused or permitted by the owner, registrant, or other agent of the short-term rental. (e) Notice and appeal of deregistration decision. Upon determining that any short-term rental is deregistered pursuant to this section, the director shall notify in writing the registrant and owner of such short-term rental of such fact and of the basis for deregistration. Such notice shall advise the registrant and owner that they are entitled to appeal the director's decision to deregister the short-term rental, as provided in section 56-805 (f) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section or any other remedy provided in this article, the city may address the conduct prohibited in this section by filing a complaint for legal or injunctive relief in the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction.
