Pittsburgh occupancy permitting requirements

[Haley Varner]

Hi - a friend of mine owns and resides in a single family home in Regents Square. The home is not subdivided in any way but she has 2 college students renting rooms from her. Neighbors "called in" to the city pressing that she should have to have an Occupancy Permit and associated inspection. It seems to me that since she is just renting the rooms and not commercial, subdivided units, that she could push back on this. Do you have any suggestions?
