Paul Solomon was awarded this dishonor for being an egregious inconsiderate self serving jackass and the worst slumlord an artist could be cursed with in the L.A. Arts District. Paul Solomon and his sleazy partners Alan & David Schneider have blatantly and willfully made artists lives a living hell for years with their lack of conscience and consideration just to make a few bucks more on illegal commercial uses of what should be an Artist's haven and have been called pathetic sleazy douche bags for doing so.

Paul Solomon has fraudulently rented creative work spaces to artists and then like a bate and switch scam, turned neighboring units in a residential building into noisy commercial warehouses, creating an unlivable nightmare for ant actual artists trying to live and work there.

Paul Solomon has no respect for his artist tenants and has been called a self serving piece of shit by the artists he has tortured and defrauded! For this, Paul Solomon has been branded "the worst landlord in the arts district", an award of shame he well deserves.

From all the artist Paul has screwed... "Sit on it and rotate, you pathetic jackass!"

I thought the mixed use residential zones that were made for artists were to allow people to live in industrial zones. That is, the industrial and commercial uses were allowed, and residential was disallowed -- but that the residential uses were then later allowed.

Now, granted, it's not that cut and dried. There are in most warehouse areas built in the mid 20th century, small strips of residences. These were communities that refused to leave when the developers pressured cities to create large industrial zones and office parks.

So those areas got zoned industrial, but people live there, amidst the pollution.

The building was rezone as an Artist in Residence and are being rented as creative work spaces for artists. Any commercial business in the building has to comply with residential hours and not make excessive noise after 10:00pm. But Wurstküche restaurant refused to comply. Paul Solomon also refused to comply with that zoning law because he was making more on the space renting it commercially and was sited by the city of Los Angeles. But even after the siting he still did nothing to comply and turned it what was supposed to be a creative loft into a nightmare for the actual artist living in the building. Paul Solomon and the owners of Wurstkuche, Joseph Pitruzzelli and Tyler Wilson are all self serving jackasses that are destroying the LA Art District!
