The Southland’s Top Property Managers: Best Practices for Handling Those ‘P.I.A.’ Inspections
Tuesday, August 13 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
| Free for AAGLA MembersThe “Property Management Masterminds” (a/k/a, The Southland’s Top Property Managers): Best Practices for Handling Those ‘P.I.A.’ Inspections
Both the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles (for unincorporated areas) require regular inspections of rental properties. The newly created County of Los Angeles inspection program known as “Los Angeles County's Rental Housing Habitability Program (RHHP)” and the City of Los Angeles’ Systematic Code Enforcement Program (“SCEP”) were devised to ensure rental housing stock is safe and habitable. In effect, the programs have basically been created as an anti-slum lord programs.
However, when speaking to most housing provides about SCEP, which has been around since 1988, many multi-family property owners are upset by SCEP because Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) inspectors routinely write citations for minor cosmetic issues and misquote building codes that they do not understand. LAHD inspectors are not the Los Angeles Department of Building & Safety inspectors– and they usually do not have a construction background.
Our latest panel of “Property Management Masterminds” have somehow figured out how to handle some of the most difficult inspection situations and have learned how to best prepare for that “Inspection Day” when it arrives. Our expert panel will once again be sharing some important insights gained only from years of experience, success and mistakes along the way in our rapidly evolving property management business, and will always enlighten you with some of the solutions they have devised and real-life stories they have experienced over the years, These experts thrive on the front-line in today’s over regulated housing business, constantly dealing with the three-T’s (tenants, toilets and trash) and will share some expert advice you need to thrive in the rental housing business.
Join us to hear about some of the “good, bad, and ugly” situations these professionals have faced, and how they deal with difficult situations on a day-in and day-out basis. Learn the insights and best practices for getting prepared for inspections and dealing with overzealous, power-hungry city (and soon to be county) inspectors…
