Good morning Mr. LeVines,

LAHD does not have records or affiliation with Airbnb. We recommend that
you contact the Department of Planning as it may relate to their home
sharing ordinance
<https://planning.lacity.org/plans-policies/initiatives-policies/home-sharing>.
Please note that our Code Enforcement does assist the Planning Department
with violations of home sharing. If you're interested in this aspect,
please let us know.

In the future, please forward or cc your requests to our group at
lahd_custodian@lacity.org

Thank you,

Is there a database or dataset of code violations of the home sharing ordinance? If so, I would like a copy of that.

Thank you for your response, we will have a program staff review your
request.

Please note that to the extent that these records identify tenants, their rent amounts, or other personal
information at the subject property, or the personal information of any other individual,
such identifying information will be redacted based on several grounds.
Government Code Section 6254(c) provides for an express exemption from disclosure of such information and
Government Code Section 6255 provides that the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly
outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record. In addition, records between
LAHD and City Attorney would not be produced because they are protected by attorney client privilege.

Hi,

Thanks so much for your help with this request! I really appreciate it.

Is it possible to add a date and penalty amount column so I can better understand when the citations were given and what if any financial penalty went with them.

Sincerely,
George LeVines

From: Los Angeles Housing And Community Investment Department

We will inquire with program staff and get back to you.
