Very important reporting! The refusal to rent to black people is a crime, and the neighbor should report what they know to entities that can investigate and track the allegation. These include the state agency California Civil Rights Department, the Los Angeles based non-profit Housing Rights Center and the Federal agency HUD.
As for Scarff Street, the neighbor is wrong about the parcel location--it's actually a different long vacant lot on the 2300 block in the National Register district. The appeal hearings involving the proposed party dorm to be built at 2323 Scarff are extremely interesting, featuring insights from some of the most gifted land use amateurs in Los Angeles, West Adams Heritage Association (WAHA), represented by Gary Kousnetz, Jean Frost (WAHA), Jim Childs (ADHOC).
The project's hearings are recommended listening for anyone concerned about the housing use crisis and lack of sensible city planning and preservation policies around USC.
