Initial analysis

The 48-unit residential building at 18424 W Malden St in Northridge, owned by Plutsky Limited Partnership, was constructed in 1961 and has experienced several notable events over recent years. The property has had minimal documented maintenance activity, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, which suggests limited structural or systems modifications during this period. The most frequent issues reported through the MyLA311 service system have been related to illegal dumping and vandalism, with a concerning pattern of such incidents emerging. Between 2019 and 2026, there were five reported incidents requiring municipal intervention, including three cases of illegal dumping (two in late 2025 and one in 2024), one bulky item removal (2024), and two instances of graffiti (2019 and 2026). While all service requests were promptly addressed and closed within a few days, the recurring nature of these incidents indicates an ongoing challenge with unauthorized waste disposal and property maintenance in the surrounding area. Given the age of the building and the limited recent permitting activity, there may be historical context regarding the property's infrastructure and maintenance needs, though the provided data does not specify any major system upgrades or renovations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 18424 W Malden 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.
