EXCLUSIVE
Famed BCBG founder Max Azria is a filthy slumlord who promised grand amenities but instead delivered a colony of rats, dog poop and more — so claims a former tenant in a lawsuit.
A company called Tres Hollywood brokered a lease for a client, who says she found a disaster zone when she moved into the designer’s 17 bedroom, 22 bath Bel-Air estate — for a whopping $500k a month, mind you. Plus $500k deposit!
Tres says it was overrun with rats and ants. Throw in mold, non-working toilets, no hot water and broken appliances — according to docs — and suddenly the dog feces and urine stench might not seem so bad.
Tres says Azria refuses to return the deposit on the place, which is currently listed for $88 million. It’s suing for the $500k plus repair costs and penalties — all told they want more than $1 million.
We’ve reached out to Azria, so far no word back.
