Good morning,
I will pass these two locations along to our Code Compliance team. Additionally, I do want to let you
know that we have a Short-term Rental Complain Form on our website that can be used to report
violations.
Thank you,

Hello,
How can I check if properties in my neighborhood that are being used as an Airbnb are in legal
compliance with the City of Bozeman?
I am concerned that two houses that are being used as Airbnb are not legally allowed by the city of
Bozeman.
211 N 8th Ave - Midtown Birdhouse - Condominiums for Rent in Bozeman, Montana, United States -
Airbnb
This house only has two off street parking spaces and has been divided into three units. Each day
there are five to seven cars that stay at this house and now that there is a new 95 unit
apartment building with 68 parking spaces, the street can not handle the extra cars brought by the
illegal Airbnb
810 W Lamme - This house has been used as a short term rental for the last few years. There are
guests that frequently leave their dog(s) in the yard barking all day or all night. There are frequently
very loud, drunken guests who disturb the peace at this residence. Several times guests of this short
term rental have filled my city trash can with their garbage illegally. I believe this is also an illegal
short term rental and if so, it must be shut down.
These short term rentals have a major negative effect on the quality of life in the neighborhood.
They are bringing multiple cars each day with no off street parking and each unit has an average of
four to six additional cars that leave no room for the working people of the neighborhood. Now that
a new 95 unit apartment building is being built with 68 parking spaces, the parking in the
neighborhood is just getting worse and worse.
Please investigate these two probable illegal short term rentals located at 211 N 8th Ave and 810 W
Lamme St that are negatively affecting the quality of life in the neighborhood, and make sure that
they are in compliance with all city of Bozeman rules and regulations.
Thank you,
Scott Bieluch
