The Los Angeles City Council approved the removal of the property at 9922 N Poole Avenue from the Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP) under Case No. 827583. The property, which includes two residential units, was originally placed into REAP on May 16, 2024, following four cited violations by the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) Code Enforcement Division. These included electrical, plumbing/gas, heating/ventilation issues, and illegal construction. Following corrective action by the property owner, LAHD confirmed that all violations had been resolved, outstanding LADWP charges had been settled, and advisory approval had been provided by the Inner City Law Center. With all compliance requirements met, the City terminated rent reductions, authorized the closure of the escrow account, and directed the release of applicable funds. LAHD is also authorized to perform future inspections under its Systematic Code Enforcement Program (SCEP).
This decision reflects the city’s continued enforcement of housing quality standards while restoring operational control to landlords who comply. It helps ensure safe living conditions for tenants and upholds accountability in property management.
