LA, California – The Simpsons producer, Rick Polizzi, has been forced to demolish his 24-year-old Simpsons-inspired tree house after the city of Los Angeles demanded he permit it like a “single-family dwelling.”
Thousands of homes burned down and this is what LA is worried about.
Polizzi says he has spent $40,000 trying to protect the structure.
The producer says he tries to get the right permit but the city keeps gaslighting him.
“They say I don’t have the right permit for it, but I’ve been trying to make the treehouse legal forever. The city’s just not having it,” Polizzi said to KTLA5.
Attorney Paige Gosney says they secured zoning permits in 2023 but can’t get building permits from the Department of Building and Safety.
“Staff wanted soil reports, structural designs, Americans With Disabilities Act compliance and all this stuff that is just kind of absurd,” Gosney said.
“At the end of the day, this is a tree house, and it’s an existing tree house that has been there for almost 30 years.”
