NAME OF PROPERTY OWNER WHERE ALLEGED VIOLATION TOOK PLACE (IF KNOWN): I believe her name is Lynn. . DESCRIPTION OF ALLEGED VIOLATION: 114 Lucille Way is located on a narrow steep cul?de-sac with very limited parking. The street is not wide enough for two way traf?c and is dif?cult to turn around on. The property is listed on AianB for rentals by business travelers, families, and large groups. AianB listing promoted the property for parties for up to 30 guests. The owner charges extra for parties - $800/day and a cleaning fee of $350. As a result, there have been a number of large parties at 114 Lucille Way, resulting in noise, traf?c, impacted parking and strangers smoking cigarettes and marijuana in the street. This has resulted in a nuisance for us neighbors. YOUR NAME: ADDRESS: TELEPHONE NUMBER: EMAIL ADDRESS: member of the public upon request.

Since then, we have not received any complaints. I want to personally thank you for ensuring that the following rules are complied with: No more than 13 people onsite at any time while the property is being used for an STR. This includes long-term tenants and their guests, guests of anyone who has rented your property as a STR, and anyone else on the such as you (the owners) or workers such as housecleaning staff. 0 No parking by STR tenants on the street, either Lucille or any other street such as Knickerbocker. 0 Compliance with all other aspects of the municipal code such as our noise ordinance, and other laws such as the state prohibition on underage drinking. Thanks for revising your listing on Airbnb so that it does not say anything about hosting large groups/ ?up to 30 people? or anything about a special cleaning fee for "large parties.? In order to ensure that there are no misunderstandings, we also recommend that you also list the maximum number of people allowed onsite as 12, assuming you have one long-term tenant. Early next week we will be issuing two ?notices of violation" for the large party that took place a few weeks ago, before we called. These are essentially warning notices, but if there are any other violations, we will start to issue fines. Thanks again for your cooperation on this matter.
