Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 18831 W Topham St in Tarzana, built in 2004 and currently owned by 18831 Topham Llc, has undergone significant recent changes, most notably transitioning from a single-family dwelling to an assisted living care facility specializing in Alzheimer and dementia care. This change of use, with associated NFPA 13R sprinkler installation requirements, was officially permitted in December 2025 following approval of Zoning Adjustment ZA-2024-2557-ZV. The building's maintenance and oversight record over the past seven years shows relatively standard activity levels, with 39 MyLA311 service requests, 11 building permits totaling approximately $250,000 in valuation, and two building safety inspections. Among historical records is a notably serious event from 2017 involving construction in progress without proper permits or inspections, though this appears to have been resolved promptly within an eight-day period. The recent period from April to June 2026 saw the generation of six information-only requests through MyLA311, though none of these indicate any substantial issues and all were resolved on the same day they were filed.

Risk rating

How 18831 W Topham St'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.
