June 2019 – TOP FIVE APARTMENT MAILBOX UPGRADE MISTAKES

By Jim McBurney, via Apartment Owner’s Association (AOA) Few apartment owners or property managers realize that it’s not possible to replace their mailboxes by searching online for equipment [that looks like what’s there now] and ordering and installing it. This is because the mailboxes installed before 1999 are probably illegal, not security-compliant, not-repairable and may even be owned by the Post Office that doesn’t sell them anymore. This is because in April 2012, the Postal Operations Manual PO 631.441 became effective and the USPS … READ MORE

By Shari Fykes, Client Manager via AAGLA On June 16, 2015, six people died, and seven others were injured in a tragic residential balcony collapse in Berkeley, California. Structural analysis revealed that the wood framing of the balcony was severely weakened by dry rot from rainwater penetration due to improper sealing of the balcony to the building.

May 2019 – Local Government Update

By Danielle Lender-Peretz, Esq., Director, Government Affairs & External Relations, AAGLA “…Los Angeles County - Extension of Rent Freeze, Just Cause Eviction, and infrastructure for Permanent Rent Control…on Tuesday, April 10th the LA County Board of Supervisors voted (4-1) in favor of extending the interim ordinance limiting rent increases in the unincorporated areas of the county to the end of 2019.

May 2019 – Building Owners Dragging Their Feet on Seismic Retrofit Law

By Ali Sahabi, Optimum Seismic via AAGLA “It’s been three years since the City of Los Angeles started sending out orders requiring seismic retrofitting of vulnerable soft story and non-ductile concrete buildings. Soft-Story property owners, upon receipt of these official notices, were required to: - Submit proof of previous retrofit, or plans to retrofit or demolish (within 2 years) - Obtain a permit to start construction or demolition (within 3.5 years) - Complete retrofit construction (within 7 years) Given these deadlines and the three years that have transpired since the first orders were mailed, what percentage of the city’s vulnerable soft-story buildings have been retrofitted so far? City officials were briefed last month that only 14 percent of soft-story buildings have been retrofitted …READ MORE

May 2019 – Sounding the Alarm: A New “Split Roll” Initiative Threatens Businesses and Jobs in California

By Susan Shelley, Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association via AAGLA Ever since Proposition 13 was passed with the support of nearly two-thirds of California votes in 1978, “reforming” Proposition 13 has been a high priority for the state’s powerful public employee unions and others who see California property owners as an untapped source of government spending money. They were trying to replace Proposition 13 before it even passed. Sharing space on the same ballot was a rival measure, a “reform” hastily cooked up by then Governor Jerry Brown…READ MORE

APRIL 2019 – LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL VOTES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH NEW PROTECTIONS FOR SECTION 8 RENTERS

By Karen Jordan, CoStar, via AAGLA Los Angeles landlords may no longer be able to turn away renters who have Section 8 subsidized-housing vouchers, the latest municipality to take such a step in hopes of addressing the rising cost of housing. The Los Angeles City Council voted 12-0 Wednesday in favor of drafting an ordinance that would prevent landlords from rejecting renters who receive Section 8 federal subsidies, which provide housing assistance payments to landlords on behalf of renters from low-income families as well as the elderly and disabled. If the ordinance is approved, the rule would go into effect Jan. 1, 2020. “We have a significant barrier to affordable housing in this city and that is the denial of people who have Section 8 vouchers who are eligible to be renters in a building who are denied...
