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 concerning 910 South Alandele Avenue under the Real Estate Acquisition Program (REAP). The Housing Committee reviewed the item on September 16, 2026, and approved it. The file remains open and is scheduled for further council action. Substantive details about the specific acquisition or development project are not specified in the available documents.

Full summary

REAP is the city's enforcement tool for substandard rental housing: when a landlord fails to correct serious code violations, tenants' rents are reduced and their payments diverted into an escrow account rather than going to the owner. The six-unit building at 910 South Alandele Avenue, owned by LLM Investments LLC, was placed into REAP on August 14, 2025, after LAHD's Code Enforcement Division cited two maintenance violations affecting one unit. The owner's rents were reduced and funds held in escrow for roughly a year. LAHD is now recommending removal because the owner has met all exit requirements under Municipal Code Section 162.08: the cited violations have been independently confirmed as corrected, all outstanding LADWP water and electric charges have been paid, and Inner City Law Center provided an advisory opinion confirming completion of the work. The resolution before the Council would terminate the rent reductions, with rents restored to their original level 30 days after tenants receive written notice. Escrowed funds would be disbursed in priority order — first to cover LAHD administrative fees and penalties, then any outstanding rent registration fees, with any remainder returned to the landlord. As a condition of exit, LAHD will conduct an expedited systematic inspection of the property and the owner must prepay for two additional annual inspections beyond the standard Systematic Code Enforcement Program fee, a standard post-REAP monitoring requirement. The City Controller is authorized to process the accounting transfers from the Code Enforcement Trust Fund to close out the escrow account. The Housing Committee approved the item on September 16, 2026, the most recent development in this file. The matter is scheduled for the full City Council agenda on September 30, 2026. Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky represents the Fifth District, which includes this property.
