In a recent government meeting, Kayla Volk, a resident of 827 Northwest 17th Street, addressed concerns regarding her seven-bedroom home, which has been the subject of local protests. Volk confirmed that the property indeed has seven bedrooms, countering claims from neighbors who allege that the house originally had only five bedrooms.

Volk clarified that no modifications had been made to the property to increase the bedroom count. She explained that one of the rooms, previously used as a pantry, was accurately classified as a bedroom due to its legal features, including a closet and windows. She expressed her willingness to engage in dialogue with neighbors to address their concerns, emphasizing that many issues could be resolved through conversation.

The meeting highlighted the ongoing tension between property owners and neighbors regarding residential classifications and usage, reflecting broader discussions about housing regulations and community standards. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how local authorities will respond to the protests and whether further investigations into the property will take place.
