Flags

  • Brush clearance charges

    The Los Angeles Fire Department lists unpaid brush clearance charges on this parcel. It says a winning bid will not cancel the liens and asks the buyer to request the actual amount once title has transferred.

  • Structure on record

    The county's records show something built here: improvement value on the assessor's roll, or a year built on its parcel map. That can be the asset or it can be the liability — a derelict building is a demolition bill, and an occupied one is a possession problem.

What parcels with a building sold for at earlier Los Angeles auctions

Los Angeles publishes the price of every parcel it sells. Each dot is one of those sales, at its price divided by its own opening bid, so a dot at 1× went for the opening bid and a dot at 10× for ten times it.

one sale median, shown only where a group has 30 sales or more
