Community service message:
House parties are not illegal, however they become illegal when they exceed a safe occupancy or if they exceed the noise allowed by law. The noise ordinance is exceeded when neighbors can hear owners’ music or voices. The police department will readily respond to those complaints and make appropriate arrests if there isn’t a willingness to comply with the law or if officers deem an arrest is necessary.
Remember, the hosts of a house party are responsible for their guests and are not entitled to a warning before being subject to an arrest.
As always, any requests for comment or questions regarding this release should be directed to Chief Daniel P. Varrenti at 637-1020 during regular business hours.
