L.A. controller calls for code enforcement upgrades L.A. Controller Ron Galperin released an audit of the Systematic Code Enforcement Program, which inspects the city’s residential rental units to verify compli- ance with state and local health, safety and building codes. The controller’s audit includes recommendations to streamline the program and to improve compli- ance so that all rental units within Los Angeles are safe and habit- able. “The health and safety of people who reside in L.A. needs to be of paramount importance,” Galperin said. “Our city has over time improved its code enforcement programs. But there is more we can and should be doing to respond quickly to complaints, to ensure the absolute accuracy of inspections and to modernize how we do it.” “We’re extremely supportive of SCEP and of L.A. Controller Ron Galperin for pinpointing where we need to better focus our resources to ensure these are truly successful programs.” said Larry Gross, executive director of the Coalition for Economic Survival. Created in 1998 to provide rou- tine inspections of residential buildings with two or more rental units, SCEP inspections aim to curtail and remedy substandard conditions. More than 96,000 properties and more than 740,000 rental units are subject to SCEP, which is conducted by the Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department. To improve SCEP’s fiscal processes, effectiveness and com- plaint response times, the controller’s audit recommends that HCID respond more quickly to complaints to address response times that have lagged. HCID’s ability to respond to complaints within its goal of 72 hours fell from 89 percent in 2011 to 70 percent in 2017. Another recommendation is to update HCID’s list of properties subject to SCEP to ensure inspections and billing are accurate. Currently, certain properties are erroneously inspected while others are incorrectly billed due to erro- neous information.

Teacher Lisa Widmann brought the students to Big Sunday as part of a community service requirement before graduation. It was the second year the school participated. “It’s important for them to get out in the community. I like them to get involved,” Widmann said. “It’s important that they be part of something that helps others. We are happy to be a part of their program.” The food was provided to dozens of social service organizations that distribute it to families, seniors, veterans, homeless individuals and others. Beneficiaries in the Hollywood area include Covenant House, Ronald McDonald House and Home-Safe Child Care, Levinson said. Big Sunday was founded 20 years ago by Levinson, a member of Temple Israel Hollywood, who was looking for a way to help peo-

Join a new adventure with The Incredibles at El Capitan

photo © Disney-Pixar The El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood presents a special engagement of Disney/Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” running from Thursday, June 14, through Sunday, July 29. The film will be shown in Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos Sound Technology. Helen (voiced by Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring “Supers” back, while Bob (voiced by Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voiced by Sarah Vowell), Dash (voiced by Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack, whose superpowers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot. But the family doesn’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. The El Capitan Theatre is hosting a special double feature on Wednesday, June 13, at 6 p.m., with screenings of “The Incredibles” and “Incredibles 2.” Tickets are $50 and include a reserved seat, popcorn in a souvenir character tub and a 20-ounce bottled drink. Families with small children will enjoy the theater’s “Tiny Tot Tuesday” screenings with lowered sound levels and lights dimmed rather than turned off. The El Capitan Theatre is located at 6838 Hollywood Blvd. For information, call (800)DISNEY6, or visit elcapitantickets.com. 28 June 7, 2018 Park Labrea News/Beverly Press
