Shortly after the Committee failed to recommend approval of the loan, John Fentis, as family spokesman, was quoted in a San Pedro newspaper as stating that the City had acted illegally by refusing to fund housing for the mentally ill and that his family would sue to obtain approval of the ACOF loan. Several weeks later, in early February, the City of Los Angeles Building and Safety Commissioner and several members of the City’s “Slumhouse Task Force”4 conducted an inspection of the California Hotel.5 The investigators cited the Fentises for numerous building code violations in response to which the Fentises spent some $40,000 making repairs.6
