The L.A. city attorney is taking on the owners of a North Hollywood apartment complex where a local gang allegedly roams freely.
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer Thursday urged Angelenos to report unsafe and violent conditions in their neighborhood while speaking about the latest nuisance abatement suit filed by his office, this one against the owners of a North Hollywood apartment complex where a local gang allegedly roams freely.
The complex is a 116-unit structure made up of 12 two-story buildings in the 13100 and 13200 blocks of Vanowen Street, between Coldwater Canyon and Woodman avenues, which the suit states is part of Nijjar's"billion-dollar real estate empire" consisting of more than 1,000 units in the city alone. According to Feuer, alleged gang members attempt to recruit students on their walk to school. The church is also impacted by the alleged gang violence, and on Oct. 15, about 60 children were playing in the parking lot when a bullet was shot and flew by the head of an adult chaperone.
"In our lawsuit, we allege that the owner -- one of the largest landlords in California -- and operator have allowed these incredibly dangerous conditions to persist. We've successfully sued this owner before over another sprawling property. Now we're asking the court to order him to live in his Vanowen complex. Let him learn what it's like to live with shooting after shooting, because that's what the hardworking families at this property endure all the time.
"We have been to that church personally as a family many times because it also serves the Armenian community as well as the Assyrian community. My kids have been in that very room that the city attorney described, where there have been bullets entering that room, my kids have sat in those chairs, learning Armenian on Saturdays," Krekorian said.
