The Richmond bylaw department issued a ticket to a Steveston homeowner on Tuesday evening for "operating a business without a licence," according to the city.
The house at the corner of Merganser Drive and Railway Avenue has been the subject of a complaint to the city that it’s been “operating in contravention of current zoning,” according to city spokesperson Clay Adams.
“We were made aware parties or events have allegedly been taking place at this location and city bylaws staff attended (Tuesday evening) to investigate,” Adams told the Richmond News.
While the homeowner received a bylaw ticket, none was issued to the organizer of the event who had a valid City of Richmond business licence.
The house was advertised on GigGster.com for productions, events and meetings, but the ad was later taken down.
Nearby residents have taken to social media to complain about the noise, parking issues as well as blocked driveways and sidewalks.
The Richmond News observed around 10 cars as well as a truck and trailer arriving at the event.
Filming equipment was seen being brought into the garage of the house.
