An Act relative to short term rental inspections

This bill allows Massachusetts building officials to delegate inspection duties for short-term rentals to appointed designees. It specifically permits inspections of both non-primary owner-occupied and primary owner-occupied short-term rentals under the International Building Code 2021 (780 CMR Table 110.7). The change streamlines the inspection process by enabling officials to use qualified designees instead of personally conducting all inspections. This directly affects short-term rental property owners and local building departments in Massachusetts. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
