It was the second shooting at an Auckland property overnight, with another house shot at in Onehunga earlier in the evening.
Officers were called to an an address on Ahuwhenua Crescent after receiving reports of gunshots about 10.30pm.
"Thankfully, no injuries have been reported in relation to this matter," Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Friend of the Auckland City crime squad said.
The suspected offenders had left the area before officers arrived on the scene.
However, police were following leads "which includes reviewing a significant amount of available CCTV footage in and around the area".

Neighbour Dani was visiting her sister at the time of the incident.
"There was a massive bang like a massive shot. At first we thought it was just like metal or something like that but once we came outside the neighbours came up and said there were men with rifles who had shot through the garage of next door," she said.
Her sister had lived at her house for two years and nothing similar had happened before.
Another resident said it was usually a very quiet area.
There would be more officers in the area during the day, Friend said.
There are also reports of a second incident involving gunshots occurred in Haddon St in Māngere East shortly after 11pm.
An RNZ reporter at the scene said stickers on the windows show where the gunshots had hit the house.
Police have not commented on this incident so far on Thursday.
Police said they wanted to speak to anyone in the area or who had information.
