Larchmont Bungalow Owner Pleads No Contest in Criminal Case
Albert Mizrahi, owner of the Larchmont Bungalow restaurant at 107 N. Larchmont, appeared before Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Harris and pleaded no contest to three criminal counts filed against him by the City of Los Angeles in 2010.
Mizrahi’s legal team, most recently headed up by former City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, was assured that City Attorney Serena Christion would not dismiss the criminal case and decided it was time for Mr. Mizrahi to enter a plea of no contest and to conform to the City’s zoning code or be forced to go to trial.
After Bungalow owner Albert Mizrahi opened the eatery as a licensed take-out in 2009 with tables and chairs, the city pulled his certificate of occupancy.
In 2010 the city attorney’s office filed three criminal counts against him: failing to comply with orders from a city agency, providing false information and continuing to operate without a certificate of occupancy.
