They call it "a party house" and it sits on the border of Beverly Hills and Bel Air. Neighbors say squatters have been living at the home for a few months, throwing wild parties that they advertise and even charge admission for.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers responded to the home on Beverly Grove Place around 2:45 p.m. for what they initially said was a burglary call.
Police later said those who were detained were later released and said the incident is being considered "a civil dispute." Video showed at least eight people in handcuffs, but the group was later released.
No one was taken into custody and the scene was cleared Friday evening.
Details surrounding the dispute weren't immediately released.
LAPD has been to the home several times.
The home was previously owned by a doctor allegedly tied to insurance fraud and who reportedly fled the U.S. after accusations he killed his model girlfriend.
The company MDRCA Properties LLC is listed as the current owner, but they went bankrupt last year.
Neighbors say the alleged squatters signed a fake lease.
Jeff Scapa, who did not want to appear on camera, claims he's the lender for the property.
"We've got to make some changes in this city because it can happen to everybody," he said, voicing his frustration.
After police left, a man with a dog showed up and claimed there would be no more parties at the property.
He said his lawyer told him not to comment when asked if he signed a lease to the property.
"I'm here because I'm responsible for the safety of the people here," the man said when asked if he lived at the home.
