Mohamed Hadid, the father of models Gigi and Bella Hadid, was ordered by a Los Angeles judge to demolish his mansion, according to multiple reports.
Hadid's neighbors had sued him over safety concerns, saying the mansion was built on an unstable cliff and had issues with its structural foundation. Judge Craig Karlan said the mansion, which sat atop a hill, posed a "clear and present" danger, adding that "if this house came down the hill it would take a portion of the neighborhood with it."
Karlan also rejected an argument by Hadid's attorney, who said that although the mansion may not comply with building regulations, it's still safe and the supporting piles can be retrofitted, reported Page Six.
Karlan appointed receiver Douglas Wilson to oversee the demolition, which will cost around $5 million. Hadid, 71, was also ordered to pay a $500,000 fee.
In response, Hadid's lawyers told the court that their client couldn't afford the demolition costs and fee, reported the Daily Mail. According to the outlet, Hadid had taken out a $17 million loan, which he had personally guaranteed, to construct the mega mansion.
"[The mansion] has not moved a millimeter," Hadid told TMZ after the ruling, adding, "it has never been an imminent danger to the neighbors."
Hadid said that the construction began in 2012 and was overseen by a number of city inspectors, who had said nothing of the issue until after he had spent millions on the project, according to TMZ.
The property tycoon had built the mansion hoping to sell it for nine figures.
