Unlock complete reportThe 6-unit residential building at 13734 W Sherman Way in Van Nuys, built in 1958 and currently owned by John A Walker et al, has experienced significant activity in recent years. Most notably, there has been a concerning pattern of waste management issues, with six illegal dumping item pickup requests recorded between 2024 and 2026, suggesting ongoing challenges with garbage disposal in the vicinity. Additionally, two pro-active code enforcement cases were opened and closed on the same day in 2013 and 2018, though the specific issues addressed in these cases are not detailed in the records. The building's documented service requests total 84 over the past seven years, indicating relatively high levels of resident engagement with city services for this period. In terms of structural oversight, there has been minimal building permit activity with only one permit issued in the past seven years, alongside two building safety inspections, though it's unclear what these inspections specifically entailed or if any violations were found. The pattern of illegal dumping incidents appears to have decreased recently, with no such requests recorded in 2026 to date.

How 13734 W Sherman Way'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.
Out of 1877 buildings in this neighborhood, 300 are predicted to be safer.
