James Franco's Silver Lake neighbors have filed a formal complaint with the Los Angeles Housing Department against the Oz: The Great and Powerful star due to the noise he creates, his trash that piles up, and how he takes up too many parking spaces. Maybe the bigger, overall complaint is that the 34-year-old actor runs his production company out of his house and not even residing there.

Similar complaints surface earlier this month when a neighbor anonymously sent a complaint e-mail to LA.curbed.com complaining about the happenings on at James' house.

This email stated: ''The property has become a production house. In fact, Iris, who works for the actor, informed me that they are running production from the house. Really? Running a production of such impact and magnitude in a residential area doesn't violate any zoning restrictions? Are there no limits to the kinds of businesses one can run?''

The e-mail also described "crowds of people" entering and leaving the residence. ''They treat us as if we are eavesdropping sycophants when we walk out our gate to our car; and as I write this, they've set up hair and make-up in their driveway.''

James Franco has previously admitted he does not spend much time at his Los Angeles property, claiming it is partly because he is scared of fans turning up at the door.

He said: ''It's pretty scary when you buy a new house and they put the address on the Internet. Photographers then know where you live and pretty much every psycho out there can turn up on your doorstep. I haven't been to my house in a while because of it actually.''
