“I was not surprised that there was a party in that house because in March, I discovered the neighbor next door had a bullet come through her son's bedroom because of an altercation that was taking place in that house,” said resident Don Bushman.
Bushman described seeing dozens of young people running from the home late Saturday night following a shooting during a party.“I learned it was an Airbnb. Well, subsequently, we discover that that house is no longer an Airbnb, but it is still being rented out,” Bushman said.A spokesperson said the department is reviewing the incident and any violations of the city's short-term rental rules and regulations can result in license revocation or suspension.
“We’re middle class, largely LatinX and African American. There are lots of younger families with kids,” he said. Bushman said he doesn’t want someone’s short-term investment property ambitions to continue to impact long-term residents of his neighborhood. The Follow UpWhat do you want Denver7 to follow up on?
