NPRLos Angeles Mayor Shuts Off Power At Hollywood Hills House That Hosted Large Parties Enlarge this image toggle caption Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti/AP Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti/AP Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said on Wednesday that he had authorized the city to disconnect utility service at a Hollywood Hills house after it hosted several large parties in "flagrant violation" of COVID-19 public health orders. According to the mayor's office, the Hollywood Hills house hosted a large gathering on Aug. 8, three days after the threat of utility shutoffs was first announced. The Los Angeles Police Department reportedly visited the property during the party to post warnings and provide notice that future violations could result in a referral to Garcetti's office "for review and issuance of a directive to disconnect utility service." The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that city police issued citations for "noisy gatherings" at 13 houses over the weekend and were considering cutting utilities to at least three properties at the time.
