Full summary

The property at 2017 East 112th Street was enrolled in REAP in May 2019 after LAHD's Code Enforcement Division cited it for ten violations across three categories: fire warning devices, plumbing and gas deficiencies, and illegal construction. REAP is a city enforcement mechanism that responds to serious housing code violations by requiring tenants to pay reduced rents into a city-held escrow account rather than directly to the landlord, creating financial pressure on property owners to complete repairs. Both of the property's two units were placed under the program. After more than seven years, LAHD has determined that all cited violations have been corrected. The Code Enforcement Division independently verified the repairs, the owners have settled any outstanding utility charges with the Department of Water and Power, and the contractor Strategic Actions for a Just Economy has provided an advisory opinion confirming completion of the work. LAHD General Manager Tiena Johnson Hall, through Director Marcella H. DeShurley, is now recommending that Council formally close the case. The proposed Council resolution would terminate the rent reductions, with rents restored to their original levels 30 days after LAHD mails tenants notice of the restoration. The escrow account would be closed and funds disbursed in a set order: first to cover LAHD administrative fees and penalties, then any outstanding fees under the Municipal Code, then any unpaid rent registration fees if the property falls under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance, with any remainder returned to the landlords. LAHD would also record a certificate with the LA County Recorder's Office formally lifting the REAP encumbrance from the property title. As a condition of removal, the owners must prepay LAHD for two additional annual inspections beyond the standard reinspection cycle, and LAHD will conduct an expedited systematic inspection of the property. The matter was submitted to Council on July 21, 2026, and LAHD requested it be placed on the August 4, 2026 Council agenda. The file is awaiting Council action and remains open.
