Party house noise at 471 Holt Avenue and College Quarter

Summary

Neighbors described years of concert-level noise, underage drinking, crowds blocking streets, and litter tied to a rental house known as 'the Blue Party House.' The board couldn't fine the owner because the city's notice to her wasn't sent by certified mail, leaving residents frustrated that repeat offenders keep slipping through.
