Police break up rager at South Boston house rented on Airbnb

By adamg on Tue, 06/26/2018 - 1:51pm

Boston Police report officers responded around 11 p.m. on Sunday to 532 East 8th St. for a party that was driving neighbors nuts:

Witnesses on-scene informed the officers that the aforementioned address was an “Airbnb” rental property, and that the renters have been engaging in loud partying and drinking throughout the night. Officers knocked and announced their presence at the residence in an attempt to investigate further. Officers then observed a group of young adults and minors running out of the back yard. Upon making entry into the apartment, officers observed a strong scent of what appeared to be burnt marijuana, as well as multiple open containers of alcohol. The apartment appeared to be in a state of disarray with various party “accessories” littered on the floor. Officers also noticed that the smoke detectors that had been installed in the apartment had been disconnected and stored in a bedroom drawer. Officers were unable to locate the renter for the property.

Police say an investigation continues.

There should be consequences for that, and hopefully, there will be.

Isn't that like saying they saw cigarette butts in an ashtray?

Really a story? Oh, I forgot the evil AirBnB company is involved so this has to be interesting - because I am sure there were no other parties in the Boston area that were broken up over the last few weeks. SMH

If you don't like the choices made of what stories to run, don't read them. Or get your own blog.

Now I have a taste for frozen yogurt.

Was not being critical of Adam running the story - this was in other news outlets as well. My criticism was that it is a story (period) not that Adam ran it.

But the sweet woman on the radio said airbandb was so wonder for her and her neighbors. Did she lie?

Airbnb is quickly becoming Boston's new age bicycle vs. car issue.

Grinder, Never heard it as a spuckie til I moved here.

What is the entomology of spuckie anyway?

By adamg on Wed, 06/27/2018 - 9:57am.

Spuckie.

That entire taxonomy page is a goldmine. Well done.

Between breaking up parties and rising rents...the Bud Light Bros will be forced to party elsewhere....which sucks for Dorchester....but hey, eventually they'll be priced out of Dorchester and into Quincy.

...and how does one walk down the street with a case of bud light without being completely embarrassed??

you drink half of it.

So it's ok if this happens in other neighborhoods, but not yours? You really are a self centered little twit aren't you?

By formerlyTheSoBoYuppie on Wed, 06/27/2018 - 10:45pm.

no where in my comment does it say i would be OK with that.

if it were up to me there would be no Bub Light Bros within a 50 miles of Boston.

Everybody knows what you mean you self-centered fraud. Return to your white building in your white neighborhood and shut the fuck up.
