Apparently city ordinances aren't taken very seriously in Lubbock.
Three years of notoriety that surrounded a colorful house on Indiana Avenue may soon end as the owner has agreed to abide by a city ordinance once protested with purple paint and polka dots.

Known as the Purple House, the 2,800-square-foot rental house at 25th and Indiana stood as a challenge to a city code that prohibits more than two unrelated roommates from living in the same house.

Texas Tech students contacted the city about changing the ordinance, and City Councilman Gary Boren said last year that painting the house purple was "a sissy way to deal with something."
I guess you just can't fight city hall, can you? Especially with purple paint and polka dots.
