Neighbors of singer Chris Brown are demanding the star remove his giant, curb-side wall art.

A neighborhood group said the grimacing, sharp-toothed, red-eyed goblins painted along a retaining wall of Brown's house have been scaring children, the Los Angeles Times reports.

"There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they're literally frightened. It's like devils on the wall - big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we're used to," Patti Negri, president of the Hollywood Dell Civic Association, told the newspaper.

L.A. city code officials have responded to complaints about the monster art and cited the singer $376 for unpermitted and excessive signage. Brown has 30 days to remove the paintings or pay a fine.

Even though the city is known for their graffiti art, it is illegal for graffiti to be painted on private property but the singer is not backing down without a fight. His attorney Mark Geragos said the city and neighborhood are trying to suspend the singer's First Amendment right.

"I'm scared of neighborhood busybodies like this," Geragos said. "They've called animal control. They have sicced parking [enforcement] on him, and now they reached the heights of ridiculousness here. Shame on them."

Geragos said Brown's neighbors are allegedly harassing the singer.

In a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Saturday, Negri said all she wants is for Brown to "tone it down and be a better neighbor."

Brown responded to his neighbor's complaints via Twitter.
