This is the City Clerk's status for the council file itself, not the outcome of the measure. A file often stays open after the Council has already adopted an item. The summary above reflects the latest recorded action.

Brief

The Los Angeles Housing Department submitted a proposal on September 4, 2026, concerning property 4322 South Honduras Street (APN 5116-021-017, Case No. 863288) under the REAP program. The Housing Committee reviewed the item on September 16, 2026, and approved it. The file remains open and is now progressing beyond committee approval.

Full summary

The Los Angeles Housing Department is seeking City Council approval to remove 4322 South Honduras Street from the Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP) and end the rent reductions imposed on its tenants. The three-unit property in South Los Angeles, owned by Flipping 502 LLC, was placed into REAP in June 2025 after code inspectors cited 16 violations covering fire warning devices, sanitation, and electrical conditions. Two of the three units were brought into the program. LAHD's Code Enforcement Division has since confirmed that all violations have been corrected and that the owner has cleared any outstanding utility charges with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. If the full Council adopts the resolution, rent for affected tenants will be restored to its pre-reduction level 30 days after LAHD mails them formal notice. The escrow account holding withheld rent funds will be closed, with proceeds disbursed in a set order: first to cover LAHD's administrative fees and penalties, then any outstanding rent registration fees, with any remaining balance returned to the property owner. LAHD will also conduct an expedited follow-up inspection and require the owner to prepay fees for two additional annual inspections beyond the standard Systematic Code Enforcement Program schedule, a condition designed to ensure continued compliance. The file was submitted to the Housing Committee on September 9, 2026, and the committee approved it at its September 16 meeting. The matter is now headed to the full City Council, which was expected to take it up at its September 30, 2026 meeting. This property is one of 16 being processed together by LAHD in the same batch report, each representing a separate REAP case where violations have been resolved.
