Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 14594 W Polk St in Sylmar, owned by Rigoberto Ruiz, was constructed in 1953 and has generated a notable number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 63. The building's records show one documented building safety concern from February 2015 regarding general repairs needed, which was assigned a priority level of 3 and was subsequently closed less than 24 hours after it was received. The most significant and recent pattern of service requests has emerged in early 2026, with a cluster of six illegal dumping and item pickup incidents occurring between December 2025 and May 2026, all of which were resolved within a few days of being reported. While the building has a relatively low priority building safety issue on record from 2015, the recent spike in illegal dumping incidents in the immediate vicinity suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and neighborhood upkeep, though these incidents appear to have been promptly addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 14594 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.
