It shall be an offense for any person at any time to willfully or maliciously disturb the public peace or quietude or the life, health or safety of any individual in any manner ... by keeping, maintaining or operating any place of public resort wherein loud or disturbing noises are made by drunken, disorderly or noisy persons congregating therein; or by failing to expel or restrain such persons when they are so acting.
Full Breakdown
Tulsa Revised Ordinances Title 27, Section 1402 makes it an offense to disturb the public peace by keeping, maintaining, or operating any place of public resort where loud or disturbing noises are made by drunken, disorderly, or noisy persons congregating there, or by failing to expel or restrain them once they start acting up. The rule reaches whoever controls the property, not just the noisy guests, so a homeowner or renter hosting a rowdy party can be cited directly for not shutting it down.
