18235 W Welby Way

The property at 18235 W Welby Way in Reseda, a single-unit building constructed in 1951 and currently owned by Adel Farahmandi, has experienced a mix of development and maintenance activities over its recent history. Notably, the most significant improvement was the successful permitted construction of a new 17'-0" x 30'-0" detached accessory dwelling unit in early 2020, completed under the provisions of AB 494 and SB 229 with a valuation of $55,000. However, the building's history includes some concerning patterns, particularly in late 2025 when there were multiple incidents of illegal dumping in the vicinity, with four such reports filed between late November and December 2025. The property also experienced two notable building safety incidents: one in 2020 involving construction without proper permits or inspections, and another in 2011 indicating general repair needs. Over the past seven years, there have been 52 service requests recorded through MyLA311, though most of these requests were for relatively minor issues, with the exception of the two building safety incidents mentioned. The building has undergone four official building safety inspections during this period, suggesting regular oversight of the property’s condition.
