Full summary

This Council file concerns a lien that the Department of Building and Safety proposed to record against the property located at 801 West Rosecrans Avenue, identified by Assessor's Parcel Number 6119-015-019. The original lien amount was $8,664.15, documented in a Department report dated October 20, 2016. Liens of this type are typically used to recover costs incurred by the city for code enforcement, abatement of nuisances, or completion of work required by building violations when the property owner has not complied. When the matter was first referred to Council in February 2017, the Department of Building and Safety reversed course and rescinded the lien before Council took final action. On April 26, 2017, Council received and filed the item, which effectively closed the matter at that time. Approximately nine years later, in early March 2026, the Department of Building and Safety resubmitted documentation to Council. The reason for reactivation is not detailed in the available file history. City Clerk scheduled the resubmitted item for Council consideration on April 22, 2026. On that date, Council voted unanimously to adopt the item, with 12 voting in favor, 0 opposed, and 3 absent or abstaining. The Council action became final on May 5, 2026, and the file is now closed with an expiration date of April 22, 2028.
