RESEDA : Restaurant Gets Dance Hall Permit
The Los Angeles Police Commission has approved a dance hall permit for El Senda restaurant, formerly a Russian restaurant.
West Valley vice officers requested that the commission approve the permit with some conditions, including a requirement that El Senda’s owners keep music volume low enough so that dance tunes cannot be heard outside the building, and that they keep the building clear of graffiti and litter.
“It’s adjacent to residents there,” said West Valley Vice Sgt. Gene Leary. “Noise is the main issue. If people hear the music, they will be calling police.”
The commission took police concerns under consideration at a meeting Dec. 21 and subsequently imposed noise limits on El Senda, which is on the corner of Sherman Way and Corbin Avenue, said Patrick Ehrich, investigator with the Police Commission.
The restaurant’s owners, listed in commission documents as Sherman Kuenfat Yu and Teresa Siu King Wong, could not be reached for comment.
