LOS ANGELES — Dozens of people showed up at a graffiti-marred
downtown Los Angeles high-rise Tuesday in an attempt to further
vandalize a property that the police chief warns is becoming a
“center of mischief and turmoil," as well as a “worldwide issue.”
At least six arrests for vandalism have been made since the graffiti
tags on the long-stalled Oceanwide Plaza project, near the arena
that hosted the Grammy Awards on Sunday, attracted national and
international attention last week.
Police Chief Michel Moore on Wednesday called the buildings and
their condition “a visual blight.”
“It has become a worldwide issue, where we now have people traveling
here in an effort make their mark,” Moore, who is retiring at the
end of the month, said at a news conference naming an interim chief.
The project stalled in 2019 over funding problems. Last week, after
video was shared showing graffiti tags on the windows of many floors
of the high-rise, police vowed to crack down.
Police responded at around 1 p.m. Tuesday to search the vacant
building and fortify a perimeter fence, Moore said, spending the
entire day on the issue, only to have more people show up that
night.
“We had dozens of individuals arrive last night and attempt to
scale, and some did, the fence,” Moore said.
“So we’re going to stay there. This is much like the 6th Street
Bridge, as an iconic location, a jewel ... that became a center of
mischief and turmoil,” he said.
The $588 million 6th Street Viaduct, which opened in July 2022, was
immediately targeted for street racing, burnouts and graffiti.
Four people ages 29 to 44 were arrested Tuesday, police said. They
were booked on charges of trespassing, and all but one is a resident
of the city. Two other people, ages 25 and 35, were arrested Jan.
30, police said.
"As a resident of Los Angeles, it’s my hope that we’re going to
transition that facility from its current state to one that is safe,
to one that is secure," Moore said.
Moore said that where the stalled project is located is "an iconic
location that unfortunately has been taken off track and now been
taken advantage by these vandals."
The project, announced as two 40-story towers of luxury condominium
units and a 49-story tower, is near Crypto.com Arena, where the
Lakers play, and by the LA Live entertainment district.
