Have you presented your story to the DA? Probably won't work but gather all evidence and write coherent account of all the events. You paid $1,800 without being liable? Present all your evidence to the LA building permit people (again). You can ask your local elected official to deal with the building permit people. Maybe get an attorney to write strong letter to the neighbor.
