A developer has filed two new lawsuits against the city of Beverly Hills, alleging that its applications for Builder’s Remedy projects were unfairly denied. The nearly identical complaints, filed by 8800 Wilshire Associates, LP, and 8820 Wilshire Associates, LP, in Los Angeles Superior Court, argue that Beverly Hills violated California’s Housing Accountability Act (HAA) and Permit Streamlining Act (PSA) in rejecting the applications.
“Rather than coming to grips with the fact that petitioner’s project is subject to the HAA’s Builder’s Remedy, the city has engaged in a course of conduct that is riddled with violations of state housing law,” both lawsuits state.
