AI summary

The three-unit property at 21706 W Sherman Way in Canoga Park, owned by Ben and Dorothy Goldman Trusts, was constructed in 1946 and has experienced various maintenance and community issues over the past several years. The building's record shows a total of 84 service requests filed through MyLA311 over the past seven years, with two building safety inspections performed during the same period. The most recent service requests from 2026 include one related to traffic safety (closed in June) and an ongoing graffiti removal case. The property has had recurring issues with graffiti, with three documented removal requests between 2025 and 2026. Additionally, there have been some infrastructure concerns in the surrounding area, including street pavement issues reported and resolved in February 2026. A homeless encampment situation near the property was addressed and closed in February 2025. While the building itself has not had many documented internal issues requiring safety inspections, the frequency of external maintenance requests, particularly regarding graffiti removal, suggests ongoing challenges with the property's exterior upkeep within its immediate urban environment.

Risk rating

How 21706 W Sherman Way's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of LA County code enforcement data — code enforcement cases, building & safety requests, foreclosure registrations, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that LA County will open a code enforcement case at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

LA County rarely opens code cases here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. LA County has opened cases here before and is statistically likely to again.
