Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 6856 N Encino Ave in Lake Balboa, owned by Armen J Dumas Co Tr, was constructed in 1951 and has experienced several maintenance and service events over the past seven years. Most notably, in October 2024, the building underwent a significant roofing project, receiving a Class A/B roof covering compliant with Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone requirements, which was properly finalized and valued at $2,100. The property has generated a total of 31 MyLA311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of activity occurring in 2026, including two reported private property violations in May 2026 and a March 2026 item pickup request. Earlier service requests in 2024 primarily concerned bulky item removals, with three such requests recorded between January and July 2024, all of which were promptly addressed within one to two days of reporting. While the building has had its share of service requests, most have been routine maintenance issues rather than serious concerns, and the recent roof upgrade demonstrates proactive property maintenance, though the two recent private property violation reports in 2026 warrant attention as the most significant recent events on record.

Risk rating

How 6856 N Encino 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.
