Neighboring Rental With Repeated Police Activity; Officers Entered My Yard With Guns Drawn. Property Manager Refusing To Engage. Options?

Location: California

I’m a homeowner in California. Across from me is a rental property managed by a management company.

There have been ongoing issues for years: loud disturbances, trash dumping, many people coming and going at odd hours, and suspected drug activity affecting multiple neighbors.

Late last night, police responded to that address in force. Roughly a dozen cars showed up, officers used a bullhorn ordering someone to come out with hands up, and officers entered my yard with guns drawn to get a line of sight on that property. I have video and a police incident number, and neighbors also documented it.

I’ve repeatedly emailed the property management company about safety concerns. Their latest response said they will no longer correspond with me because of “online comments” they claim I made. I have not posted any reviews under my name and told me to contact police instead. They did not address the issues raised.

I have now opened a Code Enforcement case with the City and am preparing a certified letter to the owner of record.

Questions:

• Do property managers in CA have a legal duty to respond to neighbor safety complaints?

• Can they refuse communication after being notified of potentially dangerous conditions?

• What legal remedies exist for surrounding homeowners (nuisance/abatement/etc.)?

• When is it worth speaking to an attorney, and can fees ever be recovered?

Appreciate any guidance.

Edited to add, why is everything in this thread being downvoted? It’s already a very stressful situation and this is not helping.
