Parents Abandoned Their Schizophrenic Son In Their Spare Apartment That They Own. He Has Been Wreaking Havoc On My Parent's Neighborhood. What Legal Options Does The Complex Have?

Location: Southern California. This is an extremely sad story of Asian parents not believing in mental health issues and burying their problems by abandoning their schizophrenic adult son in their spare apartment without supervision. He's been climbing our roofs, yelling at night, trespassing and peeping through windows, and throwing objects (including dog poop from a dog he found in the streets) outside of his window into the shared driveways. Residents have called the police on him multiple times and he's been arrested at least twice now. My parents feel helpless and genuinely fear for their safety. Their living situation has degraded drastically (unable to open their windows anymore, not being able to walk outside at night, always paranoid he will run into the garage when they get home etc.). This poor guy can't be evicted either because his parents own the home. The apartment's HOA management company can only go so far with fines but tells us there's not much more they can do. What would you recommend my parents do? Do they even have a legal case they can build out of this? Thank you.
