Community Matters: Wall Maintenance

Private walls that separate homeowners’ backyards from the public sidewalk and street along Hacienda Blvd. were built by the developer of the homes when the land was subdivided. The walls are owned by and are the responsibility of each individual homeowner. The LA County Department of Public Works will clean up graffiti on the side of the walls that faces the public street, but is not responsible for maintaining the walls in any other way. The Department of Public Works does not currently have any improvements planned for these walls, however, median landscaping along Hacienda Blvd. is planned to begin in the Spring of 2008. The Los Angeles County Zoning Code, or Title 22, regulates such aspects as wall height, color, and material. To read the provisions in Title 22 pertaining to walls, please visit Title 22 - Planning & Zoning.
