(Editor note: Black tenants first complained about loss of intercom service in 2014. At that time it was four Black men who submitted written statements to owner and city employees. Those complaints were ignored as well as hundreds of others. Over time more Blacks were added to the complaint list including two additional Blackmen who were not tenants. This represents a small victory for Blacks over white suppression of housing services to Blacks over an eight year period. This will not be the end of the chapter because certain Blacks are still seeking the use of a tandem parking stall at the same location. Tenants still can also sue for damages for the 3-4 year statute of limitations period for personal injury or breach of contract. (Editor: The address in question is a rent controlled building at 1522 Hi Point St 90035, Los Angeles, California. There is a dispute. The intercom system installed is a SmartPhoneApp based system. The owner has not supplied the smart phones and internet for tenants to use the system. The previous intercom and keypad did not require tenants to use internet and smartphone to access it. What if a tenant does not have a smart phone or internet? Complaints have been filed with the city rent stabilization departments RSO LAHD case number CE282421as well as the State Civil Rights Department CRD Case 202305-20745222. Reduction in housing services. Illegal rent increase. Racial and disability discrimination.
