LOS ANGELES - Residents in a beautiful part of El Sereno say they are frustrated.

This as neighbors shared photos of bottles of urine and trash being placed in El Sereno. The residents told FOX 11 they have reached out to Los Angeles' sanitation department for the mess not being cleaned up.

"L.A. Sanitation received two calls about this -- once on November 2, and another on November 9. Our inspectors did go out on November 4, drove the street and did not see any bottles the caller referenced.
