NOTICE OF SCHEDULED ROUTINE RENTAL HOUSING INSPECTION

Notice of a scheduled routine rental housing inspection is hereby given for the Rental Housing Property, including all Units, located at the above address. Pursuant to Los Angeles County Code Chapter, 8.53, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Environmental Health Division is required to conduct a routine housing inspection of every Rental Housing Property and/or Unit, once every four years. The above referenced property is scheduled for a routine housing inspection as follows:

• Inspection Date(s):
• Inspection Start Time:

Please note that inspections may take more than one day, depending on the number of units and extent of any violations observed.

The County Housing Program Chief (CHPC) requires the landlord or local contact representative to be present during the scheduled routine inspection to address questions the inspector may have about specific conditions at the property. The landlord or local contact representative must post the provided Notice of Routine Inspection (placard enclosed) within 24 hours from the date of receipt. The notice is also available in additional languages on our website http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/eh.

The Notice of Routine Inspection must be clearly visible in the community spaces of the rental housing property and remain posted until the inspection is completed. If the rental housing property is without a common area, please make a copy of the enclosed placard and provide to each tenant directly.

The purpose of the inspection is to ensure compliance with applicable health, safety and habitability standards. During the routine inspection, the inspector will be conducting inspections of all rental housing units to determine whether there are any State or local housing code violations, such as vermin (i.e., cockroaches, rodents), lack of maintenance (i.e., electrical, plumbing, structural), or habitability issues (i.e., mold or lack of water). When necessary, the inspector may make referrals to other County departments such as Building and Safety, Fire, and Regional Planning. All parties involved in the inspection process must be at least 18 years or older.

If you wish to reschedule the inspection date, you may do so by contacting the Rental Housing Habitability Program at least 14 calendar days prior to the scheduled inspection date listed above. The rescheduled inspection must take place within 30 days of the original scheduled inspection date. Only one request to reschedule an inspection may be submitted.

If there is an objection to the Notice of Routine Inspection, a landlord or tenant may seek a pre-compliance review. A pre-compliance judicial review shall be sought in any court in the County of Los Angeles at least 10 calendar days before the inspection date provided on this notice. Any person seeking a pre-compliance judicial review of a Notice of Routine Inspection is required to follow all applicable rules of court, including but not limited to, the time for providing notice to the County Housing Program Chief.
