Last Friday night, there was a massive house party in a short-term rental on my block. People running in/out, cars up/down street, just mayhem. I contacted Codes, Police, Health, a local university (some attendees were students), property owner.
Here's what has happened since:
Here's what has happened since:
- Property owner said all right things, then hosted another group less than 8 hours later.
- Codes didn't revoke the STR permit, citing myriad local/state laws.
