Fence Controversy at Daly City Beachfront Property Escalates With Legal Filing
"Yitong Emily Wen made the filing in state Superior Court on Monday, claiming ownership of the property, and saying that the six-foot-high chainlink fence was code compliant" as the Chronicle reports. The fence appeared last month around the property that sits next to Thornton State Beach, with a handwritten note attached near a popular beach trail threatening violence against trespassers."
"It appears that Brugnara and Wen may be living in an RV on the property which consists of four parcels and Brugnara apparently struck an agreement last fall with one of the property's seven owners to purchase that owner's share of the land. The ownership structure is fairly complicated, involving multiple parties, some of whom are siblings, and all of whom are elderly, as the Chronicle has reported."
"Brugnara now asserts full ownership, however, telling ABC 7 this week, "Dude, it doesn't matter whether I own 1% or 20%. I have a right to protect my interests, and I have a right to protect the property." It's unclear why Wen's name is on the lawsuit and not Brugnara's, but Brugnara claims to have made his purchase under an LLC called Olympic Way, and perhaps the girlfriend is also linked to that."
A temporary restraining order filing seeks to prevent San Mateo County from taking down a six-foot chainlink fence erected around long-vacant land next to Thornton State Beach. Yitong Emily Wen claims ownership of the property and asserts the fence is code-compliant. The fence carried a handwritten note threatening violence against trespassers. Luke Brugnara, who erected the fence and may be living on the land in an RV with Wen, says he has rights to protect the property and claims purchase activity through an LLC called Olympic Way. The parcel includes four lots owned by seven mostly elderly parties, and ownership is complicated.
