Rental Registration
Public Comment Period for Residential Housing Rental Permit Program
In 2023 the City of Pittsburgh passed Ordinance 2022-0270 amending the Pittsburgh City Code to include a permit for rental units referred to as the Residential Housing Rental Permit Program. This permit program becomes effective after the Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections (PLI) publishes and transmits Rules and Regulations to City Council.
The Rules and Regulations serve as the core of this permit program and outline how PLI will administer this permit including applicability, fees, payments, penalties, registration requirements and processes, inspection requirements and processes, and the right to appeal. Before publishing these Rules and Regulations PLI is soliciting public comment and feedback for the next sixty (60) days. Please submit all comments by September 30, 2024, via this form: https://forms.office.com/g/bpCpBD34XJ
After the public comment period, PLI will review the provided feedback for at least sixty (60) days. We anticipate publishing and transmitting the final Rules and Regulations to the City Council on or about December 1, 2024.
Please contact plioperationssupervisors@pittsburghpa.gov with questions regarding this process.
