Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential property at 8545 N Garden Grove Ave in Northridge, built in 1958 and currently owned by Timmy and Waifan Chu Trusts, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most significantly, there was a general code investigation initiated in September 2024 and resolved in January 2026, which represents the only code enforcement violation on record during this period. The property has had 25 MyLA311 service requests in the past seven years, with the majority (six out of eight) occurring between October 2024 and March 2026, primarily related to waste management services including bulky item pickups and electronic waste disposal. The most recent service request, for item pickups, was made and resolved in March 2026. While these service requests and the code investigation warrant attention, it's worth noting that there have been no reported incidents regarding the property that would directly impact resident safety or comfort beyond these administrative matters.
How 8545 N Garden Grove 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 1946 buildings in this neighborhood, 603 are predicted to be safer.
