AI summary

The property at 4937 N Vanalden Ave in Tarzana, owned by Orly Kohanim Trust, is a single-unit residential building constructed in 1988. The building's record over the past seven years indicates a relatively high volume of service requests, totaling 42. The most recent cluster of service requests suggests a particular pattern of streetlight-related issues in the immediate vicinity, with at least five streetlight service incidents reported between January and March 2025, three of which remain open as of my latest data update. Additionally, there were two separate incidents involving the removal of bulky items - one in late December 2024 and another in January 2025, both of which were resolved promptly within one to two days. While the building itself appears to have no significant reported issues, the surrounding area has experienced recurring streetlight maintenance needs, which may be of interest to prospective residents considering the property's location and its impact on overall safety and accessibility.

Risk rating

How 4937 N Vanalden Ave'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.
