Jake Linzinmeir, owner of Jovanina's, has been waiting months to hear back from the city.
Molly Martin, opened the restaurant in an old LoDo storefront at 1520 Blake Street in 2018. To help cover some of the costs of restoring and maintaining the historic building, he rented out one of the two apartments above the restaurant as a short-term rental, and while the second unit serves as his primary residence, he'd occasionally rent that out as a short-term rental when he was traveling.
The Denver Department of Excise & Licenses began regulating STRs in 2017; one of the rules requires that an STR be a host's primary residence."The last thing we want is for the cost of living in Denver to rise even more because of investors coming in and buying up properties to rent them out as short-term rentals," explains spokesperson Eric Escudero.
"It seems like if you have a question for the city, the answer is 'No,'" Linzinmeir says."I just don't know what the problem is, and I can't get any answers."On April 27, more than a month after he submitted his new license application, an Excise & Licenses employee inspected Linzinmeir's two units. At one point, Linzinmeir says, the inspector told him he was breaking the law but would not explain how.
