Real estate TV star Tarek El Moussa is coming under fire from residents on a street in North Hollywood, California, after he announced plans to make the “biggest flip ever” there with a massive building.

Residents of Hartsook Street in the NoHo Arts District — which is just over the hill from Hollywood — are the focus of the HGTV star’s new drive to tear down their rent-controlled homes and put up a 138-unit apartment building.

According to DailyMail.com, which was the first to report on residents’ responses to Tarek’s plan, the star is supposedly set to profit as much as $26 million (!) on the project.

Per that outlet, five tenants in three rentals have already been through their prior landlord Arthur Aslanian‘s “reign of terror.” Earlier this summer, Aslanian was convicted of hiring someone to try to BURN DOWN their homes — and seek out someone else in a murder-for-hire plot — in an attempt to avoid paying debts and to remove tenants from the rental properties so he could re-develop.

Well, Aslanian was convicted of all that in July. Now, he faces up to 60 years (!) in federal prison. BUT!!! The drama involving Hartsook Street isn’t over yet.
