The homesharing giant announced Monday that it has taken decisive measures against more than two dozen listings in the Hollywood Hills area after the Los Angeles Police Department identified them as chronic party houses. Airbnb first announced its ban on party houses in November, following a Halloween party shooting at one of its rentals that left five people dead.
