01
A real local contact, 24/7
A reachable local person for neighbor concerns, county or platform contact, storms, and visible property issues - logged, classified, and documented against the property record.
STR Risk Watch
STR Risk Watch: your registered local contact, reachable 24/7.
Santa Cruz County expects permitted non-hosted rentals to have a designated local contact within 30 miles, reachable around the clock and able to respond in person within about an hour. STR Risk Watch is Lampists serving as that contact and building the documented response trail behind it.
02
Quarterly Watch Checks
Scheduled property checks keep the owner record current before there is a complaint: visible condition, access, storm exposure, signage, parking, trash, and owner notes.
03
Owner-approved response coordination
We coordinate the next step you approve and send local eyes when warranted and available. Emergencies follow your pre-authorized escalation path.
04
Permit-ready documentation
Every check and response is timestamped and photo-backed: what happened, when it was acknowledged, what was checked, and what was done.
02 / Detection layer
Optional camera-free early warning for possible party or crowd conditions.
The detection layer focuses on possible party or crowd conditions. Where supported, additional property-level signals may appear in owner reports.
Does not: Use cameras
Does not: Record audio or video
Does not: Count or identify your guests
Does not: Monitor private behavior
Does not: Decide whether a rule was broken

DispatchOwner-approved
Incident dispatch is available at $225/hour when owner-approved and available.
Camera-free monitoring options can be scoped for possible party or crowd conditions where supported.
Vendor costs, repairs, emergency services, materials, and third-party labor are separate.
04 / How it works
From local-contact gap to documented owner record.
Start with the property, confirm fit, document the baseline, then set the response path before the next issue happens.

Watch, respond, document
Quarterly Watch Checks, pre-rainy-season readiness, qualified issue intake, owner-approved response, and a clean record you can rely on.
05
Add Monthly Watch if needed
