Brief

The Department of Building and Safety has initiated proceedings to place a lien on the property at 2150 North Beverly Glen Boulevard (APN 4380-026-008) to recover unpaid fees related to code enforcement action Case 992684. The lien is intended to secure payment of Invoice 899254-7. The matter was referred to Council on May 7, 2026, and remains open pending Council action.

Full summary

The Department of Building and Safety is asking the City Council to confirm a $1,276.56 lien against a single-family residence at 2150 North Beverly Glen Boulevard in Council District 5, owned by Lisa Catanzarite. The lien stems from unpaid code violation inspection fees that accrued after inspectors found the property in violation of the Los Angeles Municipal Code in 2023. The underlying violations, documented in Order to Comply A-6047996 issued August 31, 2023, involved an approximately 238-square-foot structure built without required permits, along with unpermitted electrical, plumbing, and mechanical installations inside that structure. The owner was ordered by September 30, 2023, to either demolish the unpermitted construction or submit plans and obtain proper permits. As of March 2026, the city records show no compliance was ever achieved. The base code violation inspection fee was $336, plus a $20.16 systems development surcharge. Because the fee went unpaid for more than 30 days, a 250 percent late charge and collection fee of $840 applied, along with a $50.40 surcharge late fee and a $30 title report fee, bringing the total owed to $1,276.56. The Department of Building and Safety, under the authority of Section 7.35.3 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code, is requesting that Council designate a time and place for a protest hearing, formally confirm the lien, and instruct the department to deposit any payments received into the appropriate city fund account. The property carries an existing deed of trust from a 2021 refinance and was most recently assessed at $661,006, well above the lien amount. The file was referred to Council on May 7, 2026, and remains in the initial referral stage with no committee assignment or Council vote recorded. It is open and expires May 7, 2028.
