Residents of a Maryland neighborhood were upset after a wild pool party brought hundreds of people to their street. The event, advertised as a “wet dreams”-themed pool bash at a million-dollar mansion listed on rental platforms, caused chaos and noise disturbances for hours. It was estimated that at least 1,000 people attended, with cars lining the street and fireworks going off.
Neighbors described the noise levels as extreme, with one resident mentioning that the ground felt like it was shaking and fireworks were going off for an hour. They also reported hearing people screaming provocative phrases during the event. The homeowner had informed neighbors in advance that there would be around 300 guests with additional security measures in place, but the party exceeded expectations.
Local officials issued violation notices to the property owners, citing illegal use for commercial purposes, unlicensed short-term rentals, and unpermitted activities. The property, owned by Keith and Elizabeth Burgess, faced legal repercussions following the party. Keith Burgess, when reached for comment, stated that he was not involved in the event and had filed for an emergency injunction to prevent future incidents.
The disruptive pool party has raised concerns about the use of rental properties for large-scale events and the impact on the surrounding neighborhood. While some neighbors defended the right to host parties on their property, others emphasized the need for accountability and consideration for the community. The for-profit nature of the party further complicated the situation, leading to violations of local policies and legal action against the property owners.
In response to the public outcry, the property owners have taken steps to address the situation. Keith Burgess filed for an emergency injunction to prevent future events at the property, which was granted. Elizabeth Burgess, the co-owner of the mansion, did not provide a comment on the matter despite multiple inquiries. The aftermath of the pool party has highlighted the importance of responsible hosting and ensuring that events do not disrupt the peace and safety of residential areas.
