Challenging to Investors
Allentown permits STRs only in designated commercial, mixed‑use, and tourism districts while many residential areas are prohibited or require special permits and caps, and the city imposes moderate licensing fees, a mandatory safety inspection, and $1 M liability insurance with active enforcement, creating a challenging compliance environment for investors.
