BRENTWOOD, CA – The City of Brentwood is committed to maintaining the safety and tranquility of its residential neighborhoods.
Recently a homicide occurred near a residential home that was allegedly rented out for a party, which is not allowed by the City’s municipal code. The allegation is currently being investigated, as well as the criminal investigation into the homicide. Our sympathies go out to those impacted by the violence of this tragic incident.
Due to concerns expressed at the July 25, 2023 City Council meeting, a future agenda item will be considered to update the City’s municipal code related to non-permitted party rental and noise activities in residential neighborhoods.
“The peaceful quality of life of our neighborhoods is of utmost importance to the City, and we will continue to enforce our existing codes taking essential steps to maintain to preserve the harmonious living environment of our residents,” said Tim Ogden, City Manager.

Brentwood Residents Speak Out After Deadly Shootout
On Tuesday, several Brentwood residents spoke out over public safety concerns after a recent robbery attempt turned shootout that left one person dead in a shootout. Residents called for an ordinance and more protections against for-profit parties in residential neighborhoods after a July 14 robbery attempt turned into a shootout that left one juvenile dead, another wounded. On Tuesday, Brentwood Police say they had 12 calls for service to the Marjoram Drive neighborhood since 2022 and staff said they already have an ordinance that does not permit for-profit parties in backyards.
Still, several residents urged the council to take action now that they are aware of a disconnect between residents and Brentwood city staff and wanted the Brentwood police to do more to prevent these activities. — See Full Story
