The City of Pittsburgh filed a petition for “allocator” (appeal) with the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. AAMP opposed the petition and the matter remains pending.

*Rental Registration – Part Deux* – Current Status. Court of Common Pleas. In October 2021, City Council introduced (and very quickly passed) two controversial ordinances that would drastically impact the local multifamily industry, the “Parking Permit” ordinance and the “Lead Safety” ordinance. At the same time, without any input from the multifamily industry, the City unveiled a new rental registration fee to replace the one that had been deemed an unconstitutional tax (See, July 20, 2021 Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law linked below) and tied the two aforementioned ordinances to the rental registration ordinance. AAMP filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas challenging this new ordinance. The bulk of the trial was conducted in January 2023 and the parties were preparing their written arguments. However, in light of the March 17, 2023 Commonwealth Court ruling, the Court stayed the litigation pending resolution of the Commonwealth Court case.
