LEVEL With Respect

The Issues

Documented. Dated. Ignored.

This is the record of life behind LEVEL Venue at 9320 W Pico Blvd. Every entry is a first-hand resident account, reviewed before publication. We offered it in good faith for months. LEVEL chose to keep the speakers outside. So the record keeps growing.

Noise

DJs, singers, microphones and speakers on an open-air patio, one alley from apartment bedrooms. Residents hear it inside their homes with the windows shut, on school nights, past 10 PM.

LEVEL has thousands of square feet of indoor ballroom and chooses the patio anyway. Neighbors have spoken to the organizer and been brushed off. Police have been called repeatedly; residents report the volume comes back up as soon as officers leave. The fix costs nothing: take the amplified music inside.

  1. LOUD Music - it's past 10 PM

    Why do it outdoors, we are in line of sight from the speakers!!!

Alley Access

The alley is how residents reach their own garages. On event nights it turns into LEVEL's loading dock.

Catering trucks, equipment vans and rideshare staging block resident access. Residents should never have to negotiate their way home past someone else's party. Keep the alley clear, always.

Traffic

Large commercial vehicles serving events occasionally impact circulation on streets that were designed for neighborhood traffic.

Load-ins, load-outs, and guest arrivals concentrate vehicles into a small residential grid. Predictable scheduling, designated staging, and traffic management on event nights would address most of what residents report.

Neighborhood Impact

Night after night of someone else's party adds up: kids who can't sleep, early shifts on no rest, and nobody at LEVEL who picks up the phone.

Venues that operate next to homes post a number, answer it, and act on it. At LEVEL, the neighbors' options so far have been a brush-off from the organizer and a call to LAPD. That is not a relationship. It's a standoff LEVEL keeps choosing.

Add to the record

Patterns are what move conversations forward. If you observed something, document it — a date, a time, a photo, a clip.

Submissions are reviewed before publication. Documentation should reflect first-hand observation — dates, times, and recordings are most useful.
