Surprising no one, Gwyneth Paltrow's neighbors tell Radar the actress isn't such a great resident to have on your block. "She wasn’t as popular with the street" as soon-to-be-consciously-uncoupled-hubby Chris Martin, whom neighbors found "really nice," say two of their neighbors in Brentwood, Calif.. Others won't even talk on the record out of fear: "I don’t want anything bad to happen to me, so I can’t say anything," explains one. "Last time I did, then it was difficult, so now I don’t want any problems." One particular problem: A 9-foot gate the couple installed to protect their $10 million mansion.
A complaint was filed with the LA Department of Building and Safety, because according to zoning laws, the gate should only be 3.5 feet high. Paltrow and Martin should have had to replace it within 45 days or be fined, but a year after the complaint was filed, it's still up—and now neighbors want the couple prosecuted. All the work Paltrow and Martin have had done on the house since buying it in 2012 is also a source of frustration: "I only got annoyed when the workmen would illegally park in my driveway and they hadn’t even spoken to me about it," says one neighbor, and sources add that neighbors can't approach Paltrow personally about their complaints—they have to go through a middleman "who seems to deal with all their issues to do with their neighbors, the house, and community," says one.
