In November of last year, the city sent workers to clear more than 10 tons of trash from the front yard.
The cleanup, authorized by Councilman John Lee, cost $12,000 in public funds — and neighbors say the effect was short-lived.
Los Angeles County has called the home an “incessant source of public nuisance,” filing the lawsuit against both the woman who owns the property and her adult son. It goes on to say that the property harbors rodents and roaches, and apart from being an eyesore, is also an “excessive and constant noise disturbance.”
The lawsuit further alleges that the residents have subjected their neighbors to “public nuisance conditions that have endangered the residents’ health, property, safety and welfare, and have substantially and unreasonably interfered with the residents’ comfortable enjoyment of life and property.” The asking price of $875,000 is in line with recent sales in the neighborhood. A house on the same block sold several months ago for $1 million.
