Valley Glen's Burned-Out Home: Neighbors Demand Action

It's April 25th.

Welcome in.

This is California News Today, where local news meets AI.

I'm Corey with the story.

A house in Valley Glen burned down over a year ago, and it's still sitting there like

a ghost from the past, with charred beans, busted windows, and junk piling up in the yard.

Neighbors have been hounding the city of Los Angeles to clear it out, but they've hit

dead ends with no real action, even as the spot turns into a...

Mosquito hotspot and draws in trouble, like homeless folks trying to squat and star fires.

Local resident Debbie Stoppick has led the charge, calling cops 11 times on one guy who

kept coming back, while folks worry about health risks from.

To breathe in might hold asbestos after the blaze.

The place sold in 2023 saw half-done construction, went into short sale last January, then torched

by April, and now Councilman Adrien.

And Adrien's office is pushing departments to fix it, fresh off cleaning a similar

eyesore nearby.

With the city attorney's criminal division reviewing the case, but no timeline in sight,

this Valley Glen crews frustration, boils over, demanding.

Accountability, so their block doesn't stay a safety hazard forever.
