An East Yorkshire house where people lit fires, swore in the street, took drugs and disturbed neighbours has been closed for three months.
The house, in Brigg Drive, Hessle, was shut to the public after an application from Humberside Police for a three-month closure order was granted.
Insp Matt Wilson said the force used such powers to help remove antisocial behaviour from an area.
Hull City Council which owns the house said it was now considering taking action against the tenants.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, antisocial behaviour including excessive noise was among the issues which led to the order.
Insp Wilson said: “It is to ensure disorderly, offensive or criminal behaviour is removed from the local area and ensure that any residents, or other people, cannot visit the address for up to a minimum of 3 months."
Anyone caught trying to enter the home without permission can be fined or imprisoned.
