In 2016, there were some posts concerning a tenant of Ciro's neighbor, the Hacienda Park Apartments aka Coronet Apartments aka Piazza del Sol.

I discovered a recent (2019) and more detailed article about this story on WeHoVille, which includes a couple different photos and also one of "William McCauley Howard" (Billy) whom we hadn't seen.
