Can you please update the status of this complaint? The situation is escalating. The owners are still advertising this as a short term rental on Airbnb and VRBO for less than 7 nights stay (which has been changed up from 3 night min at least). There were at least 3 different sets of renters in April and a new group of renters (10 people) last night who were partying until late. They are treating their house as a cheap hotel for large parties. Look at the advertisement - it is a 3 bedroom house and they advertise for 10 - 12 people capacity! One of the bedrooms has 3 beds in it!
To top it off, when the owners were back to check on the house last week they called animal control on me when my dogs were barking at a possum they found in the backyard. It was only 10 minutes of barking until I could get the dogs in the house. 15 minutes later Animal Control showed up at my door saying that they (the Airbnb neighbor) called for nuisance barking. This is obviously an attempt at retaliation. How come Animal Control is so responsive for 10 minutes of Chihuahuas barking but Code Enforcement hasn’t responded to blatant disregard of the law as these out of state people use this residential house in our quiet and friendly neighborhood as a hotel for their own personal enrichment? I have complained to Airbnb several times - no action from them of course. For VRBO there is no way to lodge a complaint. I have tried to talk with the owner several times about the noise and their only answer was “F*%k You”. In case you missed it, here is the Airbnb link https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/39057989
After the animal control incident I the owner of the Airbnb house “slow rolled” in front of my house several times, what for? It couldn’t have been good.
I’d really appreciate your help enforcing this violation thanks.
