City Attorney Carmen Trutanich has filed a nuisance abatement lawsuit against those responsible for those monster-sized supergraphic signs all over the city. He claims that the ads were put up illegally in Sherman Oaks, Westchester and elsewhere. From the LAT:
The filing was the latest move in the city's long-running struggle to enforce its outdoor advertising laws. Neighborhood activists have voiced particular ire over supergraphics, saying companies have illegally covered several stories of a building without facing any consequences. Trutanich's lawsuit was filed against 27 defendants, including World Wide Rush, which already has a separate billboard case pending before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The company is seeking to strike down the city's ban on the installation of new supergraphics.
