Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 12672 N Ralston Ave in Sylmar, owned by Israel and Carmen Arteaga along with Gudelio and Patricia Ramos, has been recorded in Los Angeles County's Master Building Records as a 1954 construction. The building's recent service history over the past three years shows a notable pattern of municipal service requests, with a total of six documented incidents in 2025-2026 alone. The most recent issues seem to cluster around neighborhood maintenance concerns, including street pavement problems and obstructions in May 2026, as well as multiple instances of illegal dumping with response dates in both September 2025 and May 2026. There was also one recorded parking dispute in May 2025. While all these reported issues have been resolved according to city records, their frequency suggests ongoing challenges with street and neighborhood maintenance in the immediate vicinity of the property. The building's total documented service request history spans 26 incidents over the past seven years, though these records show only the most recent and relevant cases from 2025-2026.

Risk rating

How 12672 N Ralston 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.
