Kanye West<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s plan to build a futuristic, egalitarian community that bridges low, middle and high-income housing has hit a major roadblock \u2026 and it could result in the prototype homes being torn down.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

TMZ broke the story \u2026 Kanye had 4 dome-like prototype structures built on the 300 acres of land he owns in Calabasas. He hopes to create a whole community of new-age homes \u2014 dome-like structures that break class barriers.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Here\u2019s the problem \u2026 we\u2019ve learned several neighbors have complained to the L.A. County Dept. of Public Works, and after inspectors came out to the property they determined the project violates the building code, and if Ye doesn\u2019t get the property permits by Sept. 15, the structures must be torn down.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Here\u2019s what we know. On July 18, one of the neighbors contacted the Dept. and said there was construction on the property late at night. An inspector came out and spoke with the site manager, who said the domes were part of a \u201cproduction\u201d and they were temporary structures. If they\u2019re temporary, building permits are not required.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Dept. got another call from a neighbor a week ago, again complaining of construction noise. The inspector came out again, and saw the domes<\/strong><\/a> were sitting atop a concrete foundation. For that and several other reasons, the inspector determined the structures did not appear temporary. \u00a0As a result, plans and building permits are required, and Kanye and Co. never applied for them.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

So, the Dept. of Public Works is now demanding that Kanye and Co. submit plans and get building permits within 45 days, or else. The \u201cor else\u201d \u2014 tear them down.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

A source close to Kanye tells TMZ \u2026 the structures were always intended to be temporary, because they\u2019re simply prototypes. The source says they are in touch with the County and intend to comply with the requirements. And, the source adds, the concrete base was necessary to secure the structure for safety and structural reasons but will eventually be removed along with the structures.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
