The ordinance was approved by City Council 15-0. The ordinance creates a series of escalating fines against party hosts and homeowners who either host or rent out their homes that disturb neighbors, block the public right of way, and threaten public safety. The new law allows for escalating fines on party hosts and homeowners to ensure that hosts who throw unruly parties in multiple homes are increasingly cited for multiple offenses, and that property owners remain culpable for renting out their homes to party house operators. The fines are:

$100 for the first violation;

$5,00 for the second violation;

$1,000 for the third violation;

$2,000 for the fourth violation;

$4,000 for the fifth violation;

And $8,000 for the sixth and subsequent violation
