Neighbors say Encino mansion brings rowdy parties, scantily clad women to quiet street
Residents of an Encino neighborhood said a home reportedly being used to create adult content has brought chaos and disruptive activity to their quiet street.
The home is located on Weddington Street in an upscale area of the San Fernando Valley.
Neighbors described the home as a hotspot for raging parties and constant visitors. Authorities have also been reportedly called to the home before.
“We’ve seen scantily clad women, almost half-naked,” a neighbor told KTLA’s Chris Wolfe. “People smoking marijuana in front of our home. We’ve seen disruptions. There have been parties.”
In a recent incident, Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to the house for a “swatting” incident, which is a hoax that involves someone reporting a false emergency to 911 to induce a large police presence.
Some neighbors accused the homeowner of creating unsavory content at the home, saying some of the company’s clients also reportedly model for the paid subscription platform OnlyFans, which can feature explicit sexual content.
Other neighbors complained about the home allegedly operating as a full-blown business on a quiet street filled with young families.
“We don’t care what content is being made,” one neighbor said. “You can’t start a production studio in a residential neighborhood.”
Residing at the home is Andy Bachman, CEO of a company called Creators Inc. One of the company’s logos can be seen prominently displayed on a large window.
“I work with modern digital entrepreneurs building audiences’ brands, products and businesses across all different platforms,” he told KTLA’s Chris Wolfe.
Bahcman denies his neighbors’ allegations, saying that his property is not being used as a backdrop for explicit adult material. He believes some of his neighbors are jumping to conclusions.
“I mean, everyone’s got rights to raise concerns and what I would hope is that those concerns are just based on facts rather than assumptions about an industry that they may not fully understand,” he said.
Although many neighbors have raised concerns, some tell KTLA they have no issue with the homeowner or any reported activity at the property.
Frustrated residents who have reported the home to city officials claim they were told that the home violates zoning laws, but no action against the homeowner has been taken.
