Residents in unincorporated Los Angeles County can report building, zoning, and property maintenance violations to the LA County Department of Public Works, Building and Safety Division. Reports can be filed online, by phone at (626) 458-3173, or through the LA County portal.
The LA County Department of Public Works, Building and Safety Division handles code enforcement for unincorporated areas. Complaints can be filed regarding construction without permits, zoning violations, unsafe structures, overgrown vegetation, trash accumulation, and other property maintenance issues. Reports may be filed anonymously. The department investigates complaints related to the California Building Code, County Building Code (Title 26), and the LA County Zoning Ordinance (Title 22). For properties within incorporated cities, residents must contact that city's code enforcement office. LA County also partners with the Department of Regional Planning for land-use violations.
Violations of the LA County Building Code may result in fines, stop-work orders, or liens on the property. Penalties are determined on a case-by-case basis and can include daily fines for ongoing violations.
