City attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan said he didn't know why the troubled 57-year-old star had been asked to leave said but said: "We feel that her being terminated from it is a violation."
When she sentenced for violating her probation in a 2007 drunken driving case and a misdemeanor theft case earlier this year, Judge Stephanie Sautner made it clear that at least 360 of the 480 hours of service should be spent at the Downtown Women's Shelter.
Praising the Los Angeles center's mission she told the star during one hearing that she thought being at the facility would do Lohan good.
She also ordered the 'Mean Girls' star to complete 360 hours of her service at the center which provides shelter and acts as advocates for homeless women.
The judge has already warned her in a previous court appearance that she needed to speed up the pace of her community service, and told the actress she wouldn't listen to excuses or grant any extensions.
But if she now decides Lohan has violated the terms of her release, the judge would have to conduct a separate probation revocation hearing at a later date before deciding on whether a jail term is warranted.
Lohan's spokesman Steve Honig declined comment beyond noting that it will be up to Sautner to decide if Lohan has violated the terms of her release.
He said Lohan has been doing community service daily at the American Red Cross for several days, and that she has also been working to complete two other aspects of her probation — completing a Shoplifters Anonymous course and undergoing psychological counseling.
Despite repeated run ins with the law Lohan has barely served any time because her convictions are for misdemeanors and because of jail overcrowding.
She served 35 days of house arrest earlier after entering a no contest plea in May to taking a $2,500 necklace without permission.
