YouTube sensation and Disney star Jake Paul is at the center of a controversy in the Beverly Grove/Fairfax District stemming from social media broadcasts that are drawing crowds of young followers to his residence on North Kilkea Drive.

The crowds are causing parking and traffic problems in the residential neighborhood, as well as other disruptions, prompting numerous complaints to the Los Angeles Police Department and Councilman Paul Koretz’s office. Previous media reports indicated the residence is in West Hollywood, but it is south of that city’s border and is in Los Angeles.

Authorities are taking steps to reduce the problems while the councilman explores ways to address the issue, said Alison Simard, director of communications for Koretz. She added that the councilman became aware of the issue last week when the office started receiving complaints from neighbors.

Paul, 20, is known for a role on the Disney Channel show “Bizaardvark,” and his postings on social media and YouTube. On his YouTube channel, Paul has allegedly listed the Kilkea Drive address online and invites followers to “keep up” with his “crazy life,” which thousands of people have done. The YouTube channel has more than 8.6 million subscribers.

Videos posted on the channel show Paul performing stunts, some of which allegedly occur in the backyard of the residence on Kilkea Drive. In one posting, furniture is burned in a roaring fire in the backyard, which concerned neighbors and authorities. Simard said police have had to disperse large crowds of young people who gather in the neighborhood hoping to see Paul.

“You have parents, mothers driving their children to catch a glimpse of this guy,” Simard added. “There has been graffiti and trash. One tree had so much graffiti that we notified Urban Forestry for a possible citation.”

Koretz issued a statement about the issue.

“These non-permitted antics are taking a toll on this previously quiet, residential neighborhood and are a draw on public resources in terms of public safety, parking, noise, littering, graffiti and damage to trees, plants and property,” the statement read. “This is a huge nuisance for the neighborhood and we are looking at what legal options we may have to put a halt to this.”

In addition to an added LAPD presence, the city is taking other steps to curb the problems. The Los Angeles Department of Transportation’s Parking Enforcement Bureau has been swarming the area and citing motorists for illegal parking, and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety is sending inspectors to issue citations when building codes are violated, Simard said.

The councilman is also exploring what can be done about the issue with FilmLA, which coordinates film production in the city. Simard said that aspect is perplexing, because a regular production company would be required to obtain a permit to film, would have to work with neighbors to mitigate impacts and follow other rules. It is unclear whether someone creating videos to post online and on social media is required to follow the same rules.

“This guy is making a fortune. He is taxing city resources,” Simard added. “The question is, where does it all end?”
