BREAKING: Residents of a quiet Van Nuys neighborhood are demanding action as a local man, Gary Boyadzhian, continues to blast three train horns daily, leaving neighbors in distress. This alarming behavior has persisted for months, rattling windows and disrupting daily life along the 6600 block of Peach Street.
Boyadzhian, aged 50, openly admits to using both his home alarm and the train horns to draw attention to what he claims are ongoing issues with the LAPD’s Van Nuys division. “I know it’s not fair to my neighbors, absolutely,” he told Eyewitness News. “If I were in their shoes, I would complain too. It is loud. It is disturbing.”
Residents report that the horns blare for several minutes each day, creating a chaotic environment. One anonymous neighbor expressed frustration, stating, “It makes the windows rumble. He does it, and then he stops. By the time police arrive, 40 minutes later, they can’t do anything.”
The LAPD has acknowledged these complaints, with officials stating, “We are in talks with the city attorney about options, as well as using other department resources to assist.” However, residents feel their concerns are not being adequately addressed. They have even posted signs urging others to report the noise, but police have indicated they need to witness the disturbance firsthand to take action.
In a desperate plea for assistance, Boyadzhian explained, “I need help. I don’t know how else to cry out for it. That’s why I’m setting off the sirens.” Despite his claims, he has not elaborated on the specific help he requires.
Adding to the complexity, the neighborhood falls under the jurisdiction of Los Angeles City Councilmember Imelda Padilla, whose staff reports they have not received formal complaints regarding the alarms. This lack of official feedback may complicate efforts to resolve the issue.
Residents are left wondering how much longer they will endure this noise disruption. With officers reportedly slow to respond to complaints, the situation remains urgent and unresolved. As this story develops, community members are urged to continue voicing their concerns to local authorities.
Stay tuned for updates as the LAPD and city officials work towards a solution in this increasingly tense situation.
