Whats the story with the guys painting my curb and then asking for money?
Anyone may paint his or her own curb, but an organization or individual doing this as a business must obtain a permit from the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services-Street Use Inspection (BSS-SUI). Our understanding is that most people doing this work in Windsor Square (and citywide) have not been properly permitted. You are not under any obligation to pay regardless of whether the person requesting payment is permitted or not. If you have any questions about a particular group or individual and especially if you feel you have been harassed, you can file a complaint which Street Use will investigate. Please call 1-800-996-CITY.
