According to CBS News,
The announcement came hours after City Councilman David Ryu introduced a motion to increase penalties for property owners who hold large house parties in violation of public health orders. It wasn’t clear whether Garcetti’s announcement was related to that motion.
In the motion introduced Wednesday, Ryu said property owners who skirt building and safety rules or city laws, such as the Los Angeles party house ordinance, are in violation of COVID-19 public health orders and the city’s party house ordinance, which became law in 2018.
Any individual or business hosting “large, close-contact, largely mask-less gatherings could be affected by the order.
Possible penalties for large gatherings held against the orders may also include permit prohibitions or having a certificate of occupancy withheld or revoked. Hosts and guests may also incur fines and possible misdemeanor charges if found to be repeat offenders.
Infection rates continue to rise in LA and other parts of California despite mask mandates and social distancing edicts.
