Glendale City Attorney Michael Garcia announced that his office has filed a criminal complaint in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County charging the owners of a property with the failure to obtain permits for the complete demolition of a potentially historic home in violation of both city and state codes.

The five-count misdemeanor complaint against the owners of 1420 Valley View in Glendale includes failure to obtain required permits for previous interior alterations and failure to provide adequate weather protection, as well as for the recent unpermitted demolition of the structure.

The complaint filed by the Glendale City Attorney names the defendants as Aroutin Behzad and Arpi Azarian Namagerdi with a court appearance scheduled for March 6 at 8:30 a.m. in the Glendale Courthouse located at 600 E. Broadway, Glendale.
