Vendors of a South LA swap meet say they are being evicted with little notice so developers can demolish the building that houses their businesses.
The vendors went face-to-face with the development company demanding they be treated fairly. In a crowded hallway leading to the developer's office, vendors chanted, carrying signs protesting the recent eviction notice many got, demanding they move out by the end of the month. “We need a fair transition,” Issa Rivera, a vendor at the swap meet, said. “Give us time to find another place ... We also want them to pay for those expenses..”
David Aghaei, the co-founder of Eleos Ventures, told the vendors they are not being told to leave this month or next, or in two months.Sign up for NBC LA newsletters.Demolition is not slated to begin until the end of the year.
