Full summary

The Department of Building and Safety submitted a report dated January 15, 2026, proposing to record a lien against 11005 West Vanowen Street for unpaid code violation costs totaling $522.42.

The Council adopted the proposed lien on April 22, 2026, subject to reconsideration under Council Rule 51. The vote was 12-0-3, indicating broad agreement among voting members. Council action became final on April 24, 2026, following the standard reconsideration window. This file is part of a multi-year pattern on the same property.
