Initial analysis

The 50-unit residential building at 4648 N Kester Ave in Sherman Oaks, managed by 4650 Kester LLC, was constructed in 1969 and has experienced a notable pattern of illegal dumping incidents in the first half of 2026. During this period, there were six documented illegal dumping item pickup requests through the MyLA311 system, all of which were resolved promptly within one to three days of reporting. These dumping incidents, while addressed swiftly by city services, may indicate ongoing maintenance or resident compliance challenges in the area. The building's documented service history over the past seven years includes a total of 77 service requests and only one building permit application, though the nature of the permit is not specified in the available records. The property has been relatively stable in terms of major structural changes or improvements, with the exception of the recent cluster of waste management issues.

Risk rating

How 4648 N Kester 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.
