6641 N Sylmar Ave

The 57-unit apartment building at 6641 N Sylmar Ave in Van Nuys, owned by Sylmar Apts Inc., was constructed in 1974 and has undergone some significant improvements since then. Most notably, in 2021, the property completed a mandatory soft story retrofit that involved the installation of four steel special cantilever columns, demonstrating compliance with Los Angeles building safety requirements. The building's recent service history shows a cluster of maintenance and cleanup activities, with five item pickup requests and two illegal dumping incident reports handled between April and June 2026, most of which have been resolved within a day of reporting. While there were two proactive code enforcement inspections recorded in 2018 and 2022, these cases were closed on the same day they were opened, suggesting they may have been routine checks with no significant findings. The building's total permitted valuation over the past seven years stands at $80,000, with only two building permits issued during this period. The property has generated a total of 65 service requests to MyLA311 over the past seven years, though the majority of these appear to be related to waste management issues rather than structural or safety concerns.
