To Walter Barratt/Hi Point Apts LLC, Cynthia Ogan resident manager, Jade Beck (Keller Williams), Mozannar Construction at emails provided above, et al:
- The door entry intercom system has failed at this location.
- Please assign us a tandem parking stall today, without any additional rent charges.
- The parking lot needs to be striped.
- Please extend the striping to stall #8, to make a tandem stall as you previously did for White tenants at stall #13.
- Please provide a list of all parking assignments.
- New tenants are entitled to a monthly rent reduction due to the nonworking intercom system.
- Your actions of not repairing the failed intercom violate section LAMC 41.33 in that you have cut off my free communication to vendors, guests, and friends and you have restricted tradesman from making necessary repairs.
- Please repair the intercom system without further delay and provide rent reimbursements for the reduction of housing services intercom and parking.
- At all times the city government has the authority to make the necessary repairs (including in a slumlord building) and bill the owner for the cost of the repairs.
- The city has previously ruled this building substandard housing because of lack of uniform compliance. This building is still not in uniform compliance.
If your Mother lived here, Walter, would you want her to have a working intercom?

CONTINUED RETALIATION AT HI POINT
Day 1086. Where’s Walter?
Maintenance Ali Mozannar was spotted on the property today at about 3:30 p.m. In fact he exchanged greetings with the Blackman tenant. But Mozannar was here to see the resident manager, a White tenant. So another day passes and the Intercom is still unusable for the Black man, even though he continues to pay rent. Mozannar’s company should face fines for participating in the conspiracy to deny Black tenants due process rights at this property. Mozannar is a Klan, thru and thru, or what would you call a white who denies housing services to a Blackman? Remember it was Mozannar who signed a three day notice to evict with the owner to try to evict Blackman after he again complained of the non-working intercom.

[Editor: In America, are Blacks asleep at the wheel? Remember: “The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, also known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study or Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment (/tʌsˈkiːɡiː/ tus-kee-ghee)[1]was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service. The purpose of this study was to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama under the guise of receiving free health care from the United States government…After funding for treatment was lost, the study was continued without informing the men they would never be treated. None of the men infected were ever told they had the disease, and none were treated with penicillin even after the antibiotic became proven for the treatment of syphilis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_syphilis_experiment
Is Hi Point Apts Mayor Garcetti’s Tuskegee experiment on Blacks?
Update March 13, 2017
Day 1063. Where’s Walter?
Maintenance was on the property today resurfacing a lead based paint bathroom sink unit 9. The sink had been reported prior to November 2016. No effort was made to repair or replace the non-working intercom in unit 9. This is a rent control building under Mayor Eric Garcetti.
Update February 13 2017
This building 1522 Hi Point St Apartments was purchased by Hi Point Apts, LLC and Abady Holdings Corporation in 2014, manager Walter Barratt. Even though the tenant in apt 9, a Black Jew Kushite DNA male, has complained about the intercom needing repair, since 2014, the owner, a White, has refused to repair or replace the intercom, without a reasonable and good faith explanation. That is 1030 days today that the intercom remains unrepaired while select tenants, Caucasian primarily, have a working intercom. We use this page to track every time the owner is spotted on the property and he refuses to fix Black man’s intercom. We count maintenance/contractors but we do not count the resident manager who is here everyday.
Since they have been renovating apt 15 since about January 15 giving it new appliances including an intercom presumably, we start this as 30 days for workers on the property.
Day 1030 where’s Walter?
Today the owner and a few other employees were spotted on the property about 9:35 a.m., 11:35 am and 5:30 p.m.
[Editor note: “Walter” is Walter Barratt who is listed by the Secretary of State of California as the manager and agent for service for Hi Point Apts LLC doing business as 1522 Hi Point Apartments [90035].
