From the Santa Monica Daily Press:
Busy Bee Hardware, located at 1521 Santa Monica Blvd., is
being sued by the Regents of the University of California for damages
caused to their property at 1525 Santa Monica Blvd. The two properties are adjacent to each other and the
dispute is based on a shared wall that is part of the Busy Bee business,
but sits on the UCLA [health] property...
Busy Bee... hired a lawyer when the situation began in
2014; they cannot afford ongoing legal fees and are currently without
legal representation. “[Busy Bee] has been running at a loss over the past few
years, partially due to current economic challenges, but most severely
impacted in a negative way over the last year while UCLA was demolishing
the building next door, we saw an immediate and substantial loss of
customer flow that coincided with the demolition project next door,” [Joseph Hunter, supervisor of Busy Bee] said. Hunter said that if this case goes to trial, “Busy Bee will most certainly go bankrupt.”
