Initial analysis

The Matilija Apartments, a 6-unit residential building located at 4249 N Matilija Ave in Sherman Oaks, was constructed in 1988 and is currently owned by Matilija Apts LLC. The property has undergone regular oversight and maintenance activities over the past seven years, including four building permits, nine building safety inspections, and a total of 16 service requests through the MyLA311 system. The most notable recent pattern of service requests has emerged between September and November 2025, with multiple reports (three separate incidents) regarding curb issues, and one street pavement issue that has since been closed. Additionally, landscape maintenance was addressed between December 2025 and February 2026. While the building's overall record shows regular engagement with municipal services, the clustering of curb-related complaints in late 2025 and early 2026 suggests a recurring infrastructure concern in the immediate vicinity. However, it's worth noting that the majority of service requests appear to be routine maintenance or informational inquiries rather than urgent safety-related issues.

Risk rating

How 4249 N Matilija 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.
