A Bellflower mural honoring legends like Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Vin Scully, Kobe Bryant and Danny Trejo is getting pushback form the City of Los Angeles.
The city cites the mural as a code violation and threatened to have it painted over. The mural located at the Speedy Auto Tint Shop is loved by many in the community although the city says that it has received several complaints about it.
Nearby resident William Aguinaldo told Fox 11 News that he has no problem with the piece. "We think it should stay up, because it's a beautiful piece of artwork" he said. "I don't understand why it needs to come down. Everyone loves it, and I don't think that it's offending anybody."
The mural was created by artist Slow Motions and it took almost a month to finish. Property owner Renae Cornejo expressed her frustration at the city to Fox 11. "I get it, I guess we broke a code that we didn't know about, we own the property," she explained.
