Initial analysis

The property at 5724 N Katherine Ave in Van Nuys, owned by Ethan and Katie Roberts, is a two-unit building constructed in 1946 that has undergone significant modifications and faced several regulatory challenges in recent years. The most notable recent developments include the construction of a new detached ADU and pool with spa in 2022, along with foundation underpinning work in 2021-2022, with building permits totaling $186,000 over seven years. The property has experienced two code enforcement violations in the past seven years, with the most recent investigation (2021-2022) related to general code compliance issues, and another case in 2021 regarding construction done without permits or inspections. Three proactive code enforcement actions were taken in 2017, 2019, and 2021, all in the South Valley area, suggesting ongoing scrutiny of the property's maintenance and compliance history.

Risk rating

How 5724 N Katherine 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.
