The Los Angeles City Council has approved the removal of the property at 1832 W 20th Street from the Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP) following compliance with the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Section 162.08. The property was placed into REAP due to 44 cited violations, including fire warning devices, sanitation, weatherproofing, electrical, plumbing, and heating issues. The violations have now been corrected, and outstanding fees and penalties have been settled. The Council's decision terminates rent reductions and closes the rent escrow account associated with the property, restoring it to normal rental operations.
This decision ensures that rental properties meet safety and habitability standards before being released from regulatory oversight. The resolution helps protect tenants' rights while allowing property owners to resume regular rental operations after compliance with city codes.
