“Neighbor From Hell” Tried to Re-Enter His Apartment and Damaged Property
Valentino Lopez, a 41 year old, male Hispanic, was identified as a resident in an apartment complex on the 1200 block of N. Fairfax Avenue located in the City of West Hollywood who had vandalized his apartment and continuously caused a public nuisance in the apartment complex.
This is the man we reported on earlier this month, who neighbors referred to as the “neighbor from Hell.” Several residents of the apartment complex feared that he would never leave.
On Wednesday, March 26th, 2025, deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Civil Management Unit conducted a lockout at the location after an Eviction process. Approximately 30 minutes later, Valentino Lopez returned to the location, attempted to re-enter his former unit, and vandalized the property. Deputies from the West Hollywood Station arrested him.
On Friday, March 28th, 2025, The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Los Angeles Airport Branch, filed two counts of Felony Vandalism and Misdemeanor Public Nuisance charges against Valentino Lopez.
Lopez remains in custody at this time.
