A man’s body was found on Sunday, August 18, near a notorious Miami party venue that was well-known for its crazy all-night parties during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
Red-light camera tycoon John Petrozza is the owner of the expansive waterfront property located on a cul-de-sac at 7301 Belle Meade Island Dr.
His illegal short-term rental operation of the beachfront mansion in Miami’s Upper Eastside residential enclave resulted in a $230,000 citation from the Miami City Commission in March 2023. For as much as $50,000 a month or $3,500 per night, the house had been advertised as a “great party space.”.
According to the neighbors, parties are still held at the mansion.
A little after 5:30, a Belle Meade resident texted, “Cops hauling ass to the party house on the island.” “Five cars so far.”
