Initial analysis

The property at 14602 W Polk St in Sylmar is a 2-unit residential building constructed in 1952, currently owned by Tom Co Tr Loera. The building underwent a significant modification in 2022 when a 20' x 20' garage space was converted into an accessory dwelling unit, with the conversion properly permitted and a Certificate of Occupancy issued. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced 67 service requests through the MyLA311 system, with a notable cluster of maintenance issues occurring between July and August 2025, including multiple illegal dumping incidents and one landscape maintenance request. The most recent service requests have involved graffiti removal (October and November 2025) and additional illegal dumping issues. Despite these maintenance challenges, the property has maintained compliance with building safety requirements, undergoing 16 safety inspections in the same seven-year period. The overall permit valuation for building improvements during this time has been approximately $80,000, though the majority of this value is likely attributable to the ADU conversion project completed in early 2022.

Risk rating

How 14602 W Polk St'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.
