The public record, citable, with the source on every line.

Every figure names the dataset it came from and the date it was read, the caveats sit beside the numbers they qualify, and the PDF states what it is and is not — not a consumer report, not a valuation, not the statutory disclosure. A record you can quote, from a service that is careful about what it refuses to say.

The questions it answers

What exactly does each source say?
How current is each figure?
Can I cite this in a filing?
What is deliberately excluded, and why?
Where does the city publish this?
Is this a consumer report?

The sections that earn their keep

Permits, and the casesThe permit history on the parcel, and every code-enforcement case the city holds open or has closed against it — what the city recorded about the building, and when.

Complaints and violationsAllegations and findings, counted separately and dated — with abatement status.

Code enforcement on this parcelEvery LADBS case the city holds open against the parcel, by type, and how many it has closed and when. No case is reported as no case, never as compliance.

Every caveatThe report's refusals are documented, which is what makes the rest of it quotable.

Nothing here needs a compliance read. The report contains no scores, grades or rankings — no safety rating, no school grade, no neighborhood letter. Those are the classic proxies for what the Fair Housing Act protects, and this product refuses them by design: you get counts, comparisons and sources. It names no person, and it is not a consumer report.
