Ice Cream Truck Operating outside of Ordinances Open

500-650 N. Kingsley Dr Los Angeles, CA 90004, USA - Mid Wilshire

Ice Cream Vendor: Diana’s Ice Cream
9523 Avalon Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90003. License # 8K66972.

Truck frequently operates outside of ordinance 176830 which states:

(c) Hours of Sales. No person shall dispense any item, including food,
from an ice cream truck on a street during the following hours: From 8:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. during the months of April through October and from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. during the months of November through March.

It is November and this truck is currently on the street at 7:50pm on 12/10/10

Driver frequently forgets to stop music while parked to serve ice cream. This is also against noise ordinances. It is not uncommon to hear this truck's music through windows and walls over 1/4 of a mile away for 30 minutes straight.

Los Angeles Health Department was contacted with apparently no solution rendered.

I believe they have the right to sell their fatty sugary laden crap to the poor people of this neighborhood, but must we be abused by the aneurysm inducing music because this driver refuses to follow the law?

Glad to know it's not just me. I live on Rampart near 4th & that @#&*+!$% ice cream truck drives me crazy. By the way, it's March, it's 7:35pm, and I hear it outside right now.

This truck has been tormenting our neighborhood today for over 2 hours. How is this not against noise ordinances in Los Angeles? They leave their music on constantly and stalk our neighborhood with it for hours!

6:21pm 3/25/2013 Appearance of this truck on N. Kingsley. Music playing, truck not moving. Breaking ordinance. They are not allowed to sell after 5:30pm.
(c) Hours of Sales. No person shall dispense any item, including food,
from an ice cream truck on a street during the following hours: From 8:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. during the months of April through October and from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. during the months of November through March.
This truck has been in our neighborhood for over an hour and a half and has not passed the ordinance hours of operation. Noise pollution, breaking noise ordinance laws.

Dear Steve, the best advice I've been given is to talk to the lead officer in your neighborhood about the nuisance which I will be doing this month because I know they'll be staying out past 8:30pm this summer.

They're here right now after ordinance hours...as usual.

This truck has been in our neighborhood today for over an hour leaving their repetitive amplified music on for more than 10 minutes (sometimes 20) at at time,

Noise ordinances they break constantly by not controlling their music and just letting it play on and on and on and ON:

41.57 LAMC- Loud and Raucous Noise

Every person who allows, causes, or permits;
Loud noises from any sound making or amplifying device; <------
On any private property, public street, of any other public place;
In such a manner as to interfere with the peace and quiet of any person within or upon any of such places. <---------------

116.01 LAMC- General Noise

Willfully making or causing to be made or continued; <------------
Any loud, unnecessary, and unusual noise; <----------------------
Which disturbs the peace or quiet of any neighborhood or which causes discomfort or annoyance to any reasonable person of normal sensitiveness residing in the area. <-------------

41.32 LAMC-Theatres and Sound Amplifiers

Operating any sound amplifying system; <------------------------------
As a part of any show;
In such a manner that is audible to the human ear;
More than 50 feet from the property line or structure where the show is being conducted. <---------

How HARD IS IT to turn of the @#$% music and only have it going while you're trolling the streets for sugar addicts?

I'm calling the noise enforcement team about this company.

Gang Members - Tagging Open

640-698 North Kingsley Drive Los Angeles, CA - Mid Wilshire

Our neighborhood is not safe at all. This wall and our entire street is tagged all the time. There is no respect, not even for the artist who placed this nice work on the wall. It was tagged by useless hoodlums within 7 days of being painted. Why hasn't the police department stepped up and caught these little brats? It wouldn't be hard, they're always here . There isn't a square inch of our street that hasn't been tagged. We feel threatened by this as a neighborhood. It's a useless @#$% contest. You're all losers with nothing to give to the world.

Dumped furniture gathering in to large piles. Open

4861 Clinton Street Los Angeles, CA - Mid Wilshire

Several pieces of furniture have been dumped here over the last month or two, the sidewalk is impassable, everyone is too apathetic to call 311 so I guess I'LL DO IT even though I don't live in this area here.

The local dog poop strip Open

3300-3398 W 7th St Los Angeles, CA - Mid Wilshire

So gross, especially on the north side of the street, it seems to be the "acceptable" strip of sidewalk to NOT pick up after your dog. Also extends to the block east of Irolo. Can't someone sit for a day and ticket all these people -- it would create quite a bit of revenue. And then clean it up, not sure who would do that. Literally, the only time I've ever seen it clean was when a TV production company came in a filmed for a couple of days and their PAs cleaned up.

The poop strip is so true. I have to walk in the street to not become a victim. Are landlords charging higher rents for such a middle of the road area and are pet owners are paying it because they have dogs? I don't remember so many dogs in 2008.

I suggest planting an official looking warning sign with POISON INSECT CONTROL IN PROGRESS on the area, or something of the sort. Then blanket the entire area with diatomaceous earth (food grade). It's harmless to people and pets but looks daunting... like a cocaine explosion. You're welcome.

Mattresses and couches Open

603 N Harvard Blvd Los Angeles, CA - Mid Wilshire

This corner must have a Dump on Me magnet because it's already full again of furniture. Clinton between Western and Kingsley needs a full sweep because it's not just this corner. Also, Kingsley from Maplewood to Melrose needs a sweep up because there are random bits of furniture that have been there for weeks because NO ONE EVER CALLS 311 BUT ME!

It's gone but there more left in its place and all over Clinton from Western to Kingsley.

Loud honking, cars parking in throughway areas. Open

608 N Kingsley Dr Los Angeles, CA - Mid Wilshire

Property manager allows vehicles to stop and run their engines in a driveway that connects the apartment complex parking lot to the street. Cars willingly block the confined area for up to 30 mintes releasing toxic carbon monoxide into surrounding apartments. Cars also honk almost every morning waking surrounding residents on different schedules.

You think that's bad. I saw a woman cooking those street vendor round wheel crisp things outside her apartment in a dirty vat of oil and throwing them in a cardboard box with no lining when they were done. There was trash, plants, dirt, everything around her. Not sanitary people. Don't eat that crap.

You have the address wrong. It is the tenant at 610 3/4 N. Kingsley that is the one allowing all the honking (it's this apartment being honked at for pick ups and drop offs).

They seem to think that honking is:

a) an acceptable way to communicate and
b) is legal but according to the California driver's manual, it is not.

I've seen one child in the white Toyota with a cellphone so at least ONE party has the ability to communicate without waking every tenant situated along the alley.

They come by up to three times a day sometimes, honking EACH time repeatedly. The neighbor across from them has guests that honk too.

If anyone was ever wondered where the center of the universe was, it lies directly between these two tenants.

How does one solve this issue, the manager doesn't care about parking or honking. Perhaps call the property owners?

Their parties are out of control. Cops never come when you call them, there's trash everywhere, there's a million dogs to each apartment, and they have fight clubs in the back...with people, not the dogs.

House Owner has white dog that bites. Open

557 N Kingsley Dr Los Angeles CA 90004, Los Angeles, CA - Mid Wilshire

This house owner allows their small white dog to get out which today ran down the sidewalk and crossed the street just to bite me on the other side of the street. If I hadn't been wearing jeans I would have called the authorities. I'm not the only one that has been bitten by this dog. It's a menace. No apologies, not one word either when I forced the dog to go home and told an adult living there that their dog bites.

Sidewalk cracking Open

The sidewalk on the south side of 4th Street between Western and Oxford Avenues is coming apart. Tree root damage is not too bad, but cracks are large and giant rocks have broken away from the sidewalk.
