A mansion on sale for more than $6 million has been squatted for months by partygoers who have angered residents of the chic Beverly Hills neighborhood in California.
The former owner of the premises, Munir Uwaydah, a disgraced doctor, had fled the United States years ago in the wake of an investigation into the murder of his ex-girlfriend, a 21-year-old model.
The mansion has become a hangout for misfits who dump condoms and drug paraphernalia that litter the surrounding ground, ABC 7 television station reported.
“There are people drunk and drugged, staggering, going in and out, then driving into the canyons. Should we kill someone before the police take action? Fran Solomon, owner of a neighboring house, shouted at the television station.
The squatters welcome people to party and even charge people who arrive there, blocking the neighborhood streets, protested a resident of this neighborhood who has lost its former tranquility.
James Allen, an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, told the Daily Mail that the new residents of the house claimed they were friends of the previous owner who would have allowed them to stay.
MDRCA Proerties LLC, listed as the owner of the residence, filed for bankruptcy and the mansion was put up for sale for US$4.5 million (equivalent to $6.2 million), according to the New York Post “.
Famous people live near the squatted mansion, including musician John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, as well as Jeff Bezos and Steve Wynn, according to KTLA.
