FAILURE TO COMPLY WARNING

You may be scheduled for a General Manager's hearing, and a lien may be recorded on this property for all administrative and inspection costs associated with your failure to comply with this notice and order. This matter may be referred to the City Attorney for further enforcement. Any person who violates or causes or permits another person to violate any provision of the Los Angeles Municipal Code is guilty of a misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of not more than $1 ,000.00 and/or six months imprisonment per LAMC Section 11.00 (m) .

LEAD HAZARD WARNING

Due to the possible presence of lead-based paint, lead safe work practices are required on all repairs in pre-1979 buildings that disturb paint. Failure to do so could create lead hazards that violate California Health and Safety Code Section 17920.10 and 105256 and may be subject to a $1,000.00 fine or criminal prosecution. For more information call the L.A. Housing Department at (866) 557-7368. In order to locate a Lead Certified Professional and obtain additional information, call the L.A. Housing Department at (866) 557-7368 or go to the California Department of Health Services Website at: http://www.dhs.ca.gov/childlead/htmi/GENclist.html.

TAX WARNING The Housing Department has determined this building to be substandard per Section and 24436.5 of the State Revenue and Taxation Code. This section provides in part that a taxpayer who derives rental income from housing determined by the local regulatory agency to be substandard by reason of violation of state and local codes dealing with health, safety, or building, cannot deduct from state personal income tax and corporate income tax, deductions for interest, depreciation, or taxes attributable to such substandard structure where the substandard conditions are not corrected within six (6) months after notice of violation by the regulatory agency. Please note that the Compliance Date of this order marks the beginning of the six (6) month period. The department is required by law to notify the State Franchise Tax Board of failure to comply with these codes.

SUBSTANDARD NOTIFICATION

When a building is determined to be a substandard building as defined under Section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code, a Notice of Non Compliance is recorded at the Los Angeles County Recorders Office (Health and Safety Code section 17985).

RENT ESCROW ACCOUNT PROGRAM (REAP) NOTICE

Failure to correct the conditions that constitute the violations specified by this notice may subject this property and units to inclusion in the City of Los Angeles Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP). Inclusion in REAP entails a rent reduction based on the level of severity of the uncorrected conditions, and allows the tenant to pay the reduced rent to the City instead of the landlord.
