Brief

The Los Angeles Housing Department has submitted a proposal involving 910 South Alandele Avenue (Assessor Parcel Number 5089-013-013) under the Real Estate Acquisition Program (REAP). The file was introduced on September 8, 2026, and is currently pending review in the Housing Committee, which scheduled it for discussion on September 16, 2026. The matter relates to prior Council action from 2008 and carries Case No. 172265.

Full summary

The six-unit rental building at 910 South Alandele Avenue, owned by LLM Investments LLC, was placed into the Rent Escrow Account Program in August 2025 after LAHD's Code Enforcement Division cited two maintenance violations affecting one unit. Under REAP, tenants in affected units pay reduced rent, with the difference held in an escrow account rather than going to the landlord — a financial pressure mechanism intended to compel landlords to fix habitability problems. LAHD is now reporting that the violations have been corrected and is asking the Council to formally close out the case. The proposed resolution would terminate the rent reductions, with rents restored to their original levels 30 days after tenants receive written notice. The escrow funds would be disbursed in a set order: first to cover LAHD administrative fees and any outstanding penalties; then to cover any unpaid rent registration fees if the property falls under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance; and any remaining balance returned to the landlord. Inner City Law Center provided an advisory opinion confirming the work was completed. The resolution also directs LAHD to conduct an expedited systematic inspection of the property once it exits REAP, and requires the owner to prepay for two annual inspections beyond the standard Systematic Code Enforcement Program fee — a standard post-REAP compliance condition. The file is one of 16 REAP removal cases LAHD packaged together for the September 30, 2026, City Council agenda. It was referred to the Housing Committee on September 9, 2026, and remains pending there. Council Member Katy Yaroslavsky represents the Fifth District, which includes this property, and her office was notified directly by LAHD.
