Orangetown couple pleads guilty to hosting illegal adult parties at home, will pay thousands in fines
The parties included "A Very Lit Pool Party" and the "Drip and Dip," for which guests were reminded to bring their own condoms.
An Orangetown couple pleaded guilty in Orangetown Court to violations relating to the giant adult parties they illegally held at their home in a quiet neighborhood, and will pay thousands of dollars in fines and a civil settlement.
Their plea and agreement to settle a civil case with the town ends two years of frustration on the part of neighbors and town officials.
Anthony Neil and Charelle Coore will pay a fine of $10,000 and a civil settlement of $5,000 for holding for-profit adult-themed parties at their Hobbs Drive home.
The parties included "A Very Lit Pool Party" and the "Drip and Dip," for which guests were reminded to bring their own condoms.
Orangetown's short-term rental code prohibits the use of pools and other spaces for commercialized parties in residential areas including this one in Blauvelt.
The couple's neighbors told News 12 the parties would get out of hand, and by morning signs of the parties remained.
"All around you saw empty liquor bottles, condoms and other stuff.," one neighbor said. "It was a real mess after they had a party."
According to court documents, the saga began in 2023 when Coore promoted a party online and sent a letter to neighbors letting them know she was holding events at the home.
The town issued a notice of violation.
The couple kept promoting parties, though, charging guests up to $130 to enter.
The town received another round of complaints this past August about another party.
The building inspector said in a statement filed with the State Supreme Court of Rockland County that he arrived to see several cars and guests wearing wristbands.
The town then hit the couple with more violations and began a civil case.
"It wouldn't stop," Orangetown Town Supervisor Teresa Kenny said Wednesday in an interview at her office, "so we were forced to take that extra step."
The civil settlement will cover some of the investigation costs.
Kenny said the town had to use resources from three departments to properly investigate the parties.
"These were late night parties. These were adult parties," Kenny said. "That's why I want to thank the police because we had to actually prove that there was payment of funds and things going on."
Neil and Coore are due back in State Supreme Court on Dec. 1.
In addition to the money they have agreed to pay the town, the settlement also includes a promise from the couple to never again hold such parties at their home.
