Neighbors concerned after shots fired at Hollywood rental home – NBC 6 South Florida

This is another calamity in a short term vacation rental home. A doorbell camera capturing the sound of more than 20 bullets fired at a residential home in Hollywood last weekend, with no injuries.

The bullet holes in the house and in the vehicles parked outside are fed up with the neighbors.

This isn’t the only rental home with these issues. Last week, a 3-year-old girl drowned in an Airbnb pool at a property in southwest Miami-Dade.

Back in Hollywood, surveillance video captured a man with a long gun shooting another house last month. Neighbors said the house was also a short-term rental.

In South Florida, the complaints continue to pile up. Long-time residents in established neighborhoods who sometimes have to deal with violent crime, out-of-control parties and police activity.

Local governments have taken measures to deal with the nuisances sometimes created. Airbnb recently stepped forward and banned overnight rentals on New Year’s Eve in Miami in an effort to keep parties out of properties.

“We love for people to travel to Miami through our platform, you have that type of fun, but when it comes to partying, do it in a bar, do it in a club, do it in an environment where it makes sense,” said Airbnb Director of Trust and Safety Ben Breit. “We just don’t want that to happen at home.”
