Initial analysis

The 16-unit residential building at 5400 N Morella Ave in Valley Village, owned by David Back Co Tr, was constructed in 1985 and has undergone regular municipal oversight, with 14 building safety inspections conducted over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 55 service requests through the MyLA311 system during this period, indicating an active engagement with municipal services. The most recent service requests from 2025 demonstrate a pattern of property maintenance and waste management activities, primarily consisting of three item pickup requests and one electronic waste disposal request, all of which were promptly closed within one to three days of their creation. These requests suggest the building management responds appropriately to waste removal needs. A traffic sign issue reported in August 2025 remains unresolved as of now, which is the only pending service request on record. The relatively high number of 311 service requests compared to the number of units suggests active management oversight, though most requests appear routine in nature rather than indicating significant building-wide issues.

Risk rating

How 5400 N Morella 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.
