Over the next 10 days, police and bylaw enforcement will have an increased presence in the University District, and officers can issue penalties for Nuisance Party and Noise Bylaw infractions.
"The risks of unsafe fires, partiers gathering on a roof or too many people trying to fit on a porch are compounded when mixed with alcohol and drug use and could lead to serious injuries or even death." Police and Bylaw officers can issue Administrative Monetary Penalties for nuisance party infractions. Fines range from $100 for noise bylaw offences like yelling, screaming and shouting to $200 for amplified music and $2,000 for hosting a "nuisance party".
