A second abandoned Hollywood Hills mansion owned by the son of a Major League Baseball team owner was spray-painted with graffiti over the weekend.
Both properties in the hills overlooking Los Angeles are owned by the same person, who is in"egregious violation of the law," according to the city.
"This is a public safety issue with serious consequences for both neighbors and the surrounding community. Irresponsible property owners must take accountability for their property or face action from the city." After authorities declared the tagged mansion a nuisance in October 2022, they told the owner to build a fence to secure the property, but he didn’t. Alex Rozier reports for the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on Friday, Sep. 20, 2024.A Phillies spokesperson confirmed the properties are owned by John Powers Middleton.
Residents told NBCLA both properties have attracted squatters for years, but the graffiti has recently escalated.
