Los Angeles County does not run a citywide Systematic Code Enforcement Program; Title 8.52 RSTPO provides limited inspection authority in unincorporated areas and LA County DPH inspects on tenant complaint.
Unlike the City of Los Angeles, which inspects every covered rental unit on a four-year cycle through its SCEP under LAMC 161, LA County does not operate a true systematic inspection program. Title 8.52 of the LA County Code, the Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protections Ordinance, gives the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs limited inspection authority for covered units in unincorporated areas. The Department of Public Health enforces habitability standards under Title 11 on a complaint-driven basis. The Department of Public Works Building and Safety responds to safety complaints. Tenants in unincorporated areas can request inspections through 211 LA. Incorporated cities such as Long Beach, Pasadena, and Glendale run their own inspection schemes.
Landlords who refuse access for a complaint-based DPH or DPW inspection, retaliate against tenants who request inspection, or ignore correction notices face administrative citations, civil penalties, and rent registration suspension.
