Jeffry Scapa, co-owner of Scapa-Silverman Properties, runs a web of more than forty LLCs that have become synonymous with tenant harassment and Ellis Act abuse. After buying a rent-stabilized Los Feliz building in 2011, Scapa and partner Bill Silverman fired the resident manager, issued low-ball “cash-for-keys” offers, and launched a campaign of intimidation, including false lease violations, unsafe building changes, and ultimately mass no-fault evictions under the Ellis Act to clear out long-term tenants. The displaced artists and queer tenants of Rodney Drive became founding members of the L.A. Tenants Union, exposing how Scapa-Silverman gutted affordable housing for profit while its owners lived in Beverly Hills mansions, a playbook echoed across the firm’s forty-plus properties.
