Another Example of How the BAA Protects the Community - Party House Injunction

Here is another example of how the Bel-Air Association protects the community. 

The property at 1859 Bel Air Road was purchased by a spec developer, who used the house for large third-party commercial events, resulting in traffic congestion and otherwise impacting the community.  On July 2, 2024, the Bel Air Association brought a nuisance lawsuit against the developer and its owner.  On October 2, 2024, the Court granted our request for a preliminary injunction to stop any action that blocked or impeded traffic or caused inappropriate noise.  On December 19, 2024, the Court granted the motion of the Bel Air Association for an Order to Show Cause re Contempt of Court against the development company and its owner when, in our estimation, the prohibited activities were not halted.  The case has now been settled, and in addition to the monetary component of the settlement, the Court has now issued a permanent injunction against the developer and its owner, prohibiting the developer and its owner:

A. From having any amplified sound (whether music or otherwise) at the property located at 1859 Bel Air Road, Los Angeles, California (a) at any time between the hours of 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 a.m. of the following day; (b) with a Noise Level (dBA) that exceeds 55 decibels at any other time; or (c) that is audible or discernable outside the boundary lines of the 1859 Bel Air Road property;

B. From having the source of any music, amplified or otherwise, or the source of any amplified sound, originate or emanate from any location at the 1859 Bel Air Road property other than inside the house itself, with doors and windows closed, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 a.m. of the following day, provided that such constitutes a legally cognizable nuisance;

C. From allowing residents, guests, suppliers, delivery persons or companies, vendors, anyone transporting residents, guests, event participants, or others to or from the 1859 or 1857 Bel Air Road property, and anyone attending or participating at events at the 1859 or 1857 Bel Air Road property from parking or stopping in areas marked, posted, or designated as no-parking areas while at, or while arriving at or departing from the 1859 or 1857 Bel Air Road property, or to otherwise block or impede traffic;

D. From holding any event at the 1859 Bel Air Road property without first obtaining all necessary permit(s) required for any such event, and then using best efforts to ensure full compliance with all terms of such permit(s).

If you become aware of any violation of any of these aspects of the Court’s Order, or if you become aware of any activity anywhere else in our community that is inconsistent with its quiet residential character, or that impedes the free flow of traffic on the public streets, please contact the Bel-Air Association.  With your continued dues, contributions, support, and assistance, we are here to assist you and our community.
