The Los Angeles City Council approved the recommendation from the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) to remove the property at 1651 East 52nd Street from the Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP). The property, identified under Case No. 675278, consists of 2 units. It was placed into REAP due to 31 initial violations cited by the Code Enforcement Division, including issues with fire warning devices, exiting, weatherproofing, electrical, plumbing/gas, and illegal construction. The LAHD has determined that all cited code violations have been corrected by the owner, Brian E. Sawyers. All outstanding electric service and/or water charges have been paid, and the Coalition for Economic Survival provided a positive advisory opinion on the work completion. The decision terminates the rent reductions and the escrow account, with funds being disbursed according to the Los Angeles Municipal Code. The property will undergo expedited systematic inspections, for which the owner will prepay for two annual inspections.
