A frightening video taken dozens of stories above downtown Los
Angeles shows a person traversing the outside ledge on one of three
unfinished Oceanwide Plaza skyscrapers that taggers have recently
covered in graffiti.

Trespassing and tagging at the now defunct $1 billion mixed-use
retail and luxury apartment complex in the heart of downtown L.A.’s
entertainment district has been an ongoing problem for police and
city leaders.

Two men were arrested late last week for trespassing on the
property. Both were cited and released. On Tuesday, officials with
the Los Angeles Police Department said four more suspects were
arrested.

The footage obtained by KTLA shows a completely untethered person
stepping off what may be a balcony area, moving around a steel beam
and onto the ledge. They continue to move gingerly across the entire
side of the building, disappearing around the corner.

It’s unclear how many stories up the person is, but the lights of
downtown can be seen far below, along with graffiti on the building
and one of the other distant vacant towers.

Some of the outlaw artists tagging the building have even spoken
out.

A tagger known as Merch said graffiti artists were inspired after a
similar project for Art Basel in Miami Beach in December and wanted
“to do an L.A. version.”

The artists also placed blame on the developers, Oceanwide Holdings
of China, who stopped construction on the project in 2019 when they
ran out of funding and have since been accused of not paying the
security guards at the site.

“With all due respect, s— is abandoned, doing nothing. Let’s put
some color on this b— and do what we do if they ain’t gon finish the
job,” the artist Hopes said.

Daron Burgundy, a street photographer and witness to the ongoing
tagging of three unfinished towers told KTLA that graffiti artists
from out of state have been traveling to L.A. to leave a mark on the
illicit art installment.

“LAPD mentioned that there might be an Instagram post floating
around and apparently it was inviting people to come. It’s been wild
to watch. It’s kind of interesting. It’s not so luxury around here
anymore.”

On Jan. 1, LAPD’s Central Division said personnel had met with a
representative of Council District 14, which is run by Kevin de
León, to discuss securing the sprawling development and adding
additional security measures.

“The measures will be implemented immediately and the graffiti will
be removed,” LAPD said on X, formerly Twitter.

KTLA reached out to Councilmember de León’s office at that time,
asking what those security measures might entail and whether there
is an estimate on the cost of removing some 27 stories of graffiti
on three vacant buildings, but has yet to hear back.
