Unlock complete reportThe property at 3938 W 59th St in Hyde Park, built in 1923, is a single-unit building currently owned by Dora G. Lizama and Santiago R. Gonzalez. Over the past seven years, the building has undergone several significant changes, most notably the conversion of an existing garage into an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) in 2020, measuring 12' x 18', which was completed under California's AB 494 and SB 229 legislation. In late 2021, a supplemental permit was issued to remove NFPA-13D fire sprinklers from the building's structural inventory. The property has experienced numerous service requests, with 37 recorded in the past seven years, including multiple item pickup requests in 2025-2026. Several concerning incidents were reported, including two instances of construction being performed without proper permits or inspections (June 2017 and August 2016), and a priority 1 violation in June 2017 regarding blocked exits, passageways, or windows that could potentially impact resident safety. The building has maintained regular safety inspections, with 58 conducted in the past seven years, and has undergone five building permits totaling approximately $85,000 in valuation. While the most recent activity consists of routine service requests, the property's history includes some significant safety and compliance concerns that were addressed, particularly during the 2016-2017 period.
How 3938 W 59Th 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.
Out of 1364 buildings in this neighborhood, 1337 are predicted to be safer.
