Residents said the right half of the house was a triplex occupied by friends in a band that practiced in the basement. The left half contained a first-floor apartment, rented conventionally, and a four-bedroom duplex above it that rented by the room on Airbnb, multiple residents said.
If I read that correctly, it sounds like a boarding house, which generally isn't legal in Somerville, right? You can't just rent individuals rooms in a unit.
