AI summary

The property at 5108 N Vanalden Avenue in Tarzana is a single-unit residential building constructed in 1984, currently owned by Gary and Shellie Ross Trusts. Over the past seven years, the building's records show minimal permit activity, with only one building permit being issued during this period. The most significant pattern of activity in the service request records pertains to waste disposal, particularly in 2023, when multiple requests for bulky items, electronic waste, and metal/household appliance removal were made between August 23 and August 25. This cluster of waste disposal requests suggests either a recent cleanup effort or significant tenant turnover, as similar disposal patterns were also recorded in November 2021. In total, there have been 11 service requests logged in the past seven years, with the most recent being a bulky items pickup in January 2024. While the frequency of waste removal requests is notable, there are no records of any safety or maintenance-related concerns that would directly impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 5108 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.
