Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said on Wednesday that he is authorizing the city to shut off utility service to properties where large parties and gatherings are held, CBS Los Angeles reports. Garcetti said that, starting Friday, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will cut off water and power service in "egregious" cases where unpermitted large parties and gatherings take place.
The announcement came hours after City Councilman David Ryu introduced a motion to increase penalties for property owners who hold large house parties in violation of public health orders. It wasn't clear whether Garcetti's announcement was related to that motion.
In the motion introduced Wednesday, Ryu said property owners who skirt building and safety rules or city laws, such as the Los Angeles party house ordinance, are in violation of COVID-19 public health orders and the city's party house ordinance, which became law in 2018.
Under the proposal, penalties for large gatherings could include water and power shutoff, permit prohibitions and having a certificate of occupancy held or revoked for any "large, close-contact, largely maskless gatherings, in direct violation of City Emergency Orders and County Health Orders".
"Despite a pandemic that has killed thousands in Los Angeles, some homeowners are choosing to put everyone at risk by renting out their homes to massive house parties," Ryu said. "This is irresponsible bordering on deadly, and it must be stopped."
"Whether it takes shutting off utilities or revoking their permits, we must do what it takes to shut these party houses down," he added.

In the whole of human history, freedom existed for about ten generations. It had a good run...
Politicians and their friends of course, are exempt
If anyone, and I mean anyone, in that hole continues to vote for the likes of assholes like him, they need to be admitted into a nut house and given a tune up.
These arrogant mayors/govs act as if there won’t be any more elections to vote them out.
Boot, necks and all.
Yeah—this sounds like it will be applied to poor black and hispanic households...just watch—it is the Democrats who have turned racism into an art form.
Never let a disaster go to waste.... How much is the party permit?
Side hint: includes churches.
Probably top of the list.
“ Any large and unruly gathering “which threatens or interferes with the public health, safety or welfare” is prohibited under the city’s party house ordinance.”
I wonder what their laws are for large, unruly crowds causing safety problems to the public - during protests, riots, and looting.
Question, can a California land lord cut of utilities to a renter? Most places have laws against that and since home owners pay property taxes, isn’t the City’s action basically unlawful.

Unfortunately, they’re not making the connection. All the Rat politicians have to do is blame Trump or the Republicans, and the people will just lap it up and re-elect them again.
Life under democrat control.
Isn’t it wonderful?
Similar to “you get what you pay for,” you get what you vote for. I have no pity on the Californian resident. They have dug their hole, too bad for them.
Los Angeles, built on a Coastal Desert, water cycle non existent, what could go wrong?
They have struggled for a long time and are not able to solve the water problem. To them, it is political. Too hell with practical.
It appears that the Democrat/Left's "new normal" -- that is, any politician or unelected bureaucrat with a "good reason" can vacate your rights and freedoms -- will continue indefinitely until it's stopped ... by force!!
Maybe they know something we don’t...
Just 3 days ago CDC is alleged to have indicated that there is no pandemic.
CDC: There Is No Pandemic (9-4-20)
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.
