Unlock complete reportThe property at 5549 N Elmer Ave in North Hollywood is a two-unit building constructed in 1923, currently owned by David Dagmi. The building's recent history shows significant development activity, with major permits issued in 2024-2026 for a new 7-story, 84-unit affordable housing project using TOC Tier 3 incentives, following the demolition of the existing single-family dwelling and garage. The site has experienced several code enforcement investigations over the past seven years, with five violations recorded, including three general code investigations in 2024-2026 and proactive enforcement actions in 2017 and 2022. The property has generated nine 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent items in 2025 relating to landscape maintenance, and earlier requests including bulky item removal and two graffiti incidents, one of which remains open as of 2025. The building has undergone substantial permitted modifications with a reported valuation of approximately $16.4 million over the past seven years, though it's important to note that construction of the new development will not commence until a CAL OSHA permit is obtained.

How 5549 N Elmer 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.
Out of 2433 buildings in this neighborhood, 2433 are predicted to be safer.
