Full summary

On January 5, 2026, the Department of Building and Safety submitted documentation to the City Council requesting authority to place a lien on the residential property located at 11221 North Amboy Avenue in the Northeast Los Angeles area. The lien was sought to secure payment for costs incurred by the city in abating building and safety code violations at the site. The invoice associated with the work (Invoice 900646-9, Case 993643) totaled unpaid charges that the property owner had failed to satisfy through normal billing channels. The Department of Building and Safety referred the matter to Council on February 25, 2026. The City Clerk scheduled the item for consideration at the regular Council meeting on April 22, 2026. At that meeting, the Council voted 12-0-3 to adopt the lien against the property. This vote placed a legal claim on the property's title, giving the city a secured interest in the real estate to ensure repayment of the code enforcement costs. The Council action was subject to reconsideration under Council Rule 51, a standard procedural provision. No reconsideration motion was filed, and the action became final on May 5, 2026. The file is now closed. The lien remains in effect and will encumber the property unless and until the property owner pays the outstanding balance owed to the city for the code violation remediation work.
