LOS ANGELES- The two Black tenants were told in writing (and copied to the Mayor and Council) that management would assign them a two car tandem parking stall. One of the Blacks took the opportunity because of his disability to park in one of the three or more vacant tandem stalls. Next thing you know he is told his car will be towed and a big sign is pasted to his car window. As soon as the Black was told his car might be towed, after supposedly one day notice, he moved the car within minutes after explaining he was told to park in the tandem stall by management.
The sign seems to be pasted with permanent glue. The tenant immediately called Benjamin Renkainen, Field Inspector (for management) and asked the the sign be removed since it was Benjamin who pasted it on the car. Benjamin, a white, did not remove the sign. The Black said he would report the assault to the Police. This happened around 3:30 pm on February 25, 2026.
In the meantime, the owner changed the locks on the front door of the building but has not given key copies to the Blacks who complained, endangering the health and safety of Black tenants. This also endangers the safety, health, and welfare of tenants: the Black has trouble driving with the sign on the window and that endangers his safety and others since he is obstructed from looking out the window. In fact, because of the obstruction, he could actually hit some of the other tenants.
In the meantime, pictures show that one tenant—-Caucasian—-has three cars in their tandem stall, blocking the garbage can and laundry—-but of course no one has complained about them.
Some of the Blacks in question have long complained about the non-working intercom system and the need for tandem parking.
One tenant said, “The plantation owners knows he can harass Blacks because the City will do nothing about it.”
