An abandoned multi-million-dollar mansion in the Hollywood Hills has been vandalized with extensive graffiti, alarming neighbors who describe it as a safety hazard. The $6 million property, owned by film producer John Powers Middleton, has been vacant for years and has attracted squatters and vandals, prompting the Los Angeles Police Department to respond to multiple incidents of trespassing and tagging. City officials, including Councilmember Nithya Raman, have indicated that the owner has not paid property taxes for years and have filed a lien against the property. Neighbors express frustration over the lack of action, stating that the situation has deteriorated into a public safety issue. Efforts are underway by the city to drain the pool, repair the fence, and address the property’s disrepair. The mansion, once a notable residence, is now viewed as a blight on the community.
