Pasadena, CA Public Conduct: Loud Party Ordinance (2026)

010 as any assemblage of three or more people for a social or recreational purpose, liable for the cost of police services whenever officers must respond more than once to the same location within a twelve-hour period, whether because attendees, neighbors or others called again or because an officer determines the party poses a threat to public health, safety or welfare. 010(C), include the salaries and benefits of officers for time spent at the second response, medical treatment for injured officers, repairs to damaged public property, and booking, medical or transport costs for any detainee; the fee liability attaches whether or not a party permit was ever issued.

030 escalates the liability further: after more than two second-response incidents at the same address within a calendar year, the police chief reports the pattern to the city attorney, who mails the recorded property owner a notice; ten days after mailing, the owner becomes personally liable for the cost of police services on any first or subsequent response at that property for one year. 040, and a minor's parents or guardians share liability jointly. 050 allows a written appeal to the city clerk within 10 days, limited to disputing the cost calculation, with the city manager issuing a final decision within 45 days.
