Owner of Snooki, JWoww House Alerted About Zoning Ordinance

Berkeley Township officials are putting the owner of the Snooki and JWoww house on notice.

Filming a show like theirs is a commercial operation, and town officials are alerting the homeowner that filming there is an ordinance violation, according to a report this evning on News 12 New Jersey.

Earlier this week, an attorney representing a group of Pelican Island residents  threatened legal action against Berkeley Township as well as the production company behind the MTV show “Snooki and JWoww” to stop filming of the show from taking place in their neighborhood.

The threat came after several residents of Pelican Island blasted Mike Loundy, the owner of the home where filming is poised to take place, for failing to inform officials and neighboring residents of his plans to lease his property at 515 Sunset Drive South to 495 Productions, which is responsible for the show.

The threat of legal action came after several residents said their quiet neighborhood – which is still largely in shambles due to damage from Superstorm Sandy – was being disturbed by both productions crews and people coming in both cars and boats to view the house.
