Full summary

The Los Angeles Housing Department is asking the City Council to remove the five-unit rental property at 2441 E Meadowvale Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90031, owned by Eduardo G. Mora, from the Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP). REAP is a city enforcement tool that reduces rents and places tenant payments into an escrow account when a landlord fails to maintain a building in code-compliant condition. The property was placed into REAP on June 7, 2024, after LAHD's Code Enforcement Division cited two maintenance violations. All five units were subject to the program. LAHD now reports that all cited violations have been corrected and independently verified by its Code Enforcement Division. The property owner has also satisfied any outstanding utility charges with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and the nonprofit contractor Strategic Actions for a Just Economy provided an advisory opinion confirming the work was completed. With these conditions met, LAHD is recommending that the Council terminate the rent reductions and close the escrow account. If the Council approves the resolution, rents will be restored to their original levels 30 days after tenants receive written notice. Escrow funds will be disbursed in a set order: first to cover LAHD administrative fees, then any outstanding code enforcement penalties, then any unpaid rent registration fees under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance, with any remainder returned to the landlord. LAHD will also file a certificate with the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office terminating the REAP recording on the property. The owner will be required to prepay for two future annual inspections beyond the standard Systematic Code Enforcement Program fee, and LAHD will conduct an expedited follow-up inspection. This file is one of 16 REAP removal cases LAHD submitted together for the September 30, 2026, City Council agenda. The matter was referred to the Housing Committee on September 9, 2026, and remains pending committee action.
