A doctor in the south-central region of Los Angeles County is calling it quits after years of battling denizens of a rooftop homeless encampment that have continuously terrorized her and her employees, costing the general practitioner tens of thousands of dollars in the process.
Dr. Tahani Soliman owns the building she runs her practice out of on the corner of Rugby and Zoe avenues in Huntington Park.
A multi-level parking garage next door to her practice has reportedly been a hub for unhoused people, who are easily able to access her roof, camp out, steal electricity and scrap metal from her air-conditioning units and start fires.
The doctor told KTLA that she estimates she’s spent more than $100,000 on repairs and deterrents such as barbed wire and a fence that the homeless simply tear down.
“We are living in hell,” Soliman said. “They ruined my roof. I have to put in a new roof and electricity from the air conditioning. I have to replace all of them.”
On Tuesday, crews with the Los Angeles Fire Department extinguished a blaze on the rooftop of the parking structure and it’s not the first time. Gaby Rodriguez, who works for Dr. Soliman, said there was another fire in the same spot in 2023.
It was firefighters who told the doctor and her staff that homeless people were living on top of the parking garage.
“We ended up putting up a fence with barbed wire. They took that down,” Rodriguez said. “We put cages around our AC units, and they took those down.”
According to Rodriguez, Huntington Park police have told the doctor and her staff that there is not much they can do about the problem and that the office’s calls to the city for help have gone unreturned.

We in LA this week as mrs. jimfree has a conference where she is a big wheel. The absence of homeless tents is striking. We visited Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach this a.m. and didn’t see a single one. Last visit 2 or 3 years ago they were all over the around the gym.

A box of 12ga and a shovel would have been much more cost effective.
Wonder how the good doctor voted?
. Are you hanging out with the Bloods and Crips this week?😎
Tell the local Muslims at one of the mosques that these are gays. They’ll take care of the squatters on the roof problem.
Look out below.
RE: Tearing down the barriers erected.
There was a sickening debate by lawyers after the movie with Jim Carey “Liar, Liar” referenced a burglar falling through the skylight into the kitchen as he broke into a woman’s home, and then cutting his leg on a kitchen knife. He then sued to woman for his injuries.
Lawyers creepily said it wouldn’t happen, mostly, and admission of guilt by the thug would be a problem (but we know they always get off in court—my rebuttal to them). And one said the thug would have to prove it was a deliberately set trap (I guess like Straw Dogs’ man trap??), not inadvertant after cooking.
What about those who didn’t vote for what is happening to the doctor?
I looked the doctor up. She’s a republican. Donated to Ron DeSantis in 2022 and to Trump twice. Once in 2023 and again in 2024.
“Unhoused.”
How cute. Violent criminal bums are just poor unhoused people.
