Hawthorne Mayor Chris Brown, evicted from his home last year and ordered to pay $10,000 in back rent, has not paid rent since November at the luxury condominium where he now lives with his family, according to court documents obtained by the Daily Breeze.

Brown has refused an order to leave his unit at ThreeSixty at South Bay at El Segundo and Aviation boulevards, where his landlord is seeking $17,500 in back rent and other damages.

Additionally, according to the court documents, California Republic Bank is pursuing Brown in court in an attempt to recover $19,635.06 for an unpaid loan. That case was filed in February in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Brown, who recently began campaigning for re-election, has rebuffed his landlord’s attempts to contact him.

“He hasn’t moved out and he stopped responding to phone calls or text messages. He’s just squatting in my house now,” said Kubilay Isbilen, who owns the unit at ThreeSixty at South Bay, the El Segundo Boulevard development built on the former site of the Los Angeles Air Force Base.

Brown moved into the $3,500-a-month, two-bedroom, three-bathroom unit with his family in November. Isbilen said the real estate agent who processed his application didn’t inform him of the mayor’s prior eviction or financial problems.

Brown and his wife stopped paying rent in December at their unit, which costs $116.67 per day. They were ordered to leave the home six weeks ago but haven’t budged, instead filing a court document contesting the eviction proceedings. As a result, Isbilen said, it could be months before police can legally remove him from the condo.

“I still have to come up with the mortgage payment and he’s putting me in a financial hole in such a bad way,” Isbilen said.

Brown did not respond to a request to discuss the matter, and city officials declined to talk about it because it is not directly related to city business.

The first-term mayor moved into the ThreeSixty at South Bay development the month he was forcibly removed from a Cordary Avenue town house because he hadn’t paid the $2,350-a-month rent there for six months.

Brown’s prior landlord, Bill Hassan, is now trying to recover in court $10,983 in owed rent and damages. Thus far, Brown has ignored Los Angeles Superior Court Judge H. Jay Ford III’s demand in September that he repay Hassan.

Hassan served Brown with papers again demanding the money just before the mayor delivered his annual State of the City address on March 13 at the Hawthorne Memorial Center. Brown told the Daily Breeze they were the first documents he had received in the case, though he commented in prior news articles that he refused to pay Hassan because the apartment was in disrepair.

Hassan disputes that claim, and said the newly built town houses are well managed.

Attorney Dennis P. Block, who represents both landlords in their legal actions against Brown, said the mayor has flagrantly disregarded the court system.

“How is he still mayor?” Block said. “He stopped paying rent (to Hassan) in May 2014 and was evicted from that property with over a $10,000 judgment on November 6. He promptly moved into another residence again in Hawthorne and stopped paying rent on the second residence in December.”

What’s more, several residents complained anonymously to Isbilen and the Breeze that Brown repeatedly parked city vehicles in handicapped spaces and would not pay monthly homeowners association dues.

Brown was elected to a two-year term as mayor in November 2013, hailed by several state and local lawmakers as a reform candidate in a city plagued by corruption and poor leadership. The prior two mayors left office amid bribery and theft scandals.

Previous Mayor Danny Juarez pleaded guilty last May to a felony political conflict-of-interest charge for taking a $2,500 donation from the American Youth Soccer Organization — meant for a police officer’s memorial fund — and keeping it for himself. In exchange for his guilty plea, six counts of perjury for related charges of illegally taking financial donations were dropped.

Longtime former Mayor Larry Guidi pleaded guilty in 2012, shortly after leaving office, to a felony grand theft charge for stealing a commercial food mixer from his former employer, the Hawthorne School District.

Councilman Alex Vargas, who is also seeking the mayor’s seat in November, said Brown’s financial problems reflect ongoing city leadership failures in Hawthorne that need to change.

“It is obvious he is struggling with some significant financial challenges that I would not want to wish on anyone,” Vargas said. “At the end of the day, the future of our city is not about Chris Brown’s ability to pay his rent or any of his other financial troubles — it’s about getting Hawthorne back on track.

“We must fundamentally change the culture of our community, our leadership, and our goals to achieve those objectives.”

Councilwoman Angie English, who also is running for the mayor’s seat this year, said the news of Brown’s behavior is shocking.

“Obviously, this is a distraction in trying to move the city forward,” she said. “This isn’t good for the community or its leadership. It’s unfortunate and there needs to be a change.”
