A Van Nuys neighborhood finally exhaled after LAPD arrested and then released a 50‑year‑old man accused of blasting a train horn and a burglar alarm from his roof for months. Crews seized 10 horns, a compressor, and alarm panels from the home on the 6600 block of Peach Avenue. The case started with nonstop noise complaints since May and ended, for now, with a citation and an own‑recognizance release.
FOX 11 reports the man, identified by LAPD as Gary Boyadzhyan, says he did it because his ex‑girlfriend’s father has “terrorized” him and that the noise was a plea to force law enforcement to act. LAPD says the city attorney is looped in. The specific charges are not yet clear, and jail records list a court date of September 8. Neighbors tell FOX 11 the racket kept them up all hours, with other late‑night antics like lawn mowing at 2 a.m. also in the mix.
The Bullet Point Brief
- The stash: 10 horns, a compressor, and alarm panels pulled from the house. That is not a hobby. That is a siren factory.
- The timeline: blasts since May on the 6600 block of Peach Avenue. A quiet street turned rail yard.
- The arrest: booked on a misdemeanor, then released early the next morning on his own recognizance. Neighbors got whiplash.
- The claim: he says it was self‑defense by decibel. Ex’s dad is the villain, the horns are his bat‑signal. Sure, buddy.
- The next step: city attorney involvement, charges not specified, and a court date set for September 8. Translation, to be continued.
My Bottom Line
And you thought you had bad neighbors. This guy turned his roof into a locomotive and his block into a migraine. Arrested, released, and the rest of the city shrugs like noise terrorism is a parking ticket. I get that LAPD has a million fires to put out, but there is a difference between a nuisance and a sustained acoustic assault. Call it what it is. You want attention from the justice system, fine. Buy a suit and go file a complaint. Do not make your entire street live inside a foghorn.
