BEL AIR, CA - MAY 23, 2017 - The unfinished mansion at 901 Strada Vecchia Road in Bel Air on May 23, 2017. Three years ago, Los Angeles demanded that builders halt work on a gargantuan mansion in the hills of Bel-Air. The massive home, dubbed the Starship Enterprise by aggravated neighbors, was bigger and taller than Los Angeles rules allowed, according to court filings. It also included entire areas - bedrooms, decks and an underground IMAX theater - that were never approved by the city, its attorneys charged. Los Angeles yanked the building permits. Celebrity developer Mohamed Hadid was slapped with criminal charges. The case drew international attention with its cocktail of criminal accusations, real estate excess and star power in Hadid, who has appeared on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and whose daughters Gigi and Bella have graced the cover of Vogue. After years of legal wrangling, Hadid is headed to trial. But the fate of the megamansion at the center of the dispute remains unclear. (Genaro Molina/Los Angeles Times)
