Initial analysis

The two-unit property at 21418 W Gault Street in Canoga Park, built in 1910 and currently owned by Maruka Tr Gardea, has had a relatively limited history of code enforcement and service requests over the past seven years. The most significant issue on record was a general code investigation opened in May 2020 regarding construction done without proper permits or inspections, which was resolved by January 2022. This violation received a priority rating of 2, indicating it was considered a moderate concern. The building's maintenance and neighborhood upkeep is evidenced by several MyLA311 service requests, including two graffiti removal incidents in 2026 and 2023, a bulky item removal in 2022, and electronic waste disposal in 2019, all of which were promptly addressed and closed within a few days. The property's service request history suggests regular engagement with city services for basic maintenance issues, though the recent graffiti incidents could indicate an ongoing challenge with surface maintenance, at least in terms of exterior appearances.

Risk rating

How 21418 W Gault 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.
