The incidences of gatherings known as “house parties” or “after-hours parties” which typically occur in the late-night and early-morning hours have a history of disturbing residents of the city, but they have recently begun to attract violence into neighborhoods. The Boston Police Department has instituted “Operation Party Time” and other programs as direct responses to these disturbances and acts of violence. These Sections are intended to provide the authorities with some legislative tools including civil penalties and fines, to assist the Boston Police Department with its efforts to stop such parties in progress and prevent future occurrences of them to enhance the public safety of the city and to improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods of the city.
