Overview
- LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia released a live database that names the 100 rental addresses with the most tenant complaint cases in the city.
- The interactive site lets users search any LA address, view an online map, and see rankings based on cases logged from December 2013 through November 2025.
- The top three entries are 636 1/2 N Hill Pl with 192 cases linked to owner Thomas Botz, 11700 W Wilshire Blvd with 166 cases tied to Jordan L. Kaplan, and 6650 W Forest Lawn Dr with 113 cases associated with Benjamin W. Shall.
- The dataset tallies frequent case types, including illegal eviction with 55,018 cases, illegal rent increase with 37,876, reduction of services with 32,015, and harassment with 24,179.
- The Controller says the goal is transparency and tenant organizing, though update timing remains unclear and listings reflect reported complaints rather than proven violations.
