LOS ANGELES - First it was taggers, now BASE jumpers are plunging
off the infamous graffiti-covered skyscraper in downtown LA.

Video posted to social media shows a person paragliding off one of
the three towers. Two of the towers stand at 40-stories high while
the other is 45-stories.

Since Monday, 23 people have been arrested on the site of Oceanwide
Plaza on S. Figueroa Street, which is across the street from
Crypto.com Arena.

Right now, the city is working to prevent dangerous, potentially
fatal stunts that also risk the lives of Angelenos on the sidewalks
as well. Angelenos could fall off or be pushed off and we are
working to prevent both while holding the owner of the building
accountable for these expenses," the mayor's office said.

"That's insane! I don't understand how they even got that idea.
That's scary," said Cyndi Corletto who owns Alladin's Coffee Shop
nearby.

"I saw four people being arrested," she added.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore says incidents at the abandoned building is
costing the police department a lot of money and resources.

"We have called some officers on an overtime basis," Moore said.

And while they try to keep taggers out, others like Richard
Longsworth are coming down with their cameras and drones to capture
what they call art.

"I know it's vandalism, but it's beautiful," Longsworth said.

LA City Councilman Kevin de León said it's expensive to heighten the
fence and remove the graffiti. At Tuesday's city council meeting de
León introduced a motion to allocate $3.8 million.

If approved, the city would pull $1.1 million to fund fencing and
secure the ground floors of the structure and another $2.7 million
would be allocated, as a loan, to cover costs associated with
security services, fire safety upgrades, graffiti abatement and
other measures.

"Come [February] 17 if they're not there to clean up the mess
they've left for all of us here in LA, then we're going to step in,"
de León added.. giving the property owner until Saturday to step in.

"Listen, somebody's going to lose their life," the councilman added.
