[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] Re: LAHD LIEN Posted by Eviction Attorney on March 25, 2008 at 9:13 PM In Reply to: LAHD LIEN posted by Justin Monem on March 24, 2008 at 4:50 PM I assume LAHD means Los Angeles Housing Department, and that the subject property is located in the city of LA proper. Not trying to be contrarian, but I'd recommend talking with an attorney about this, Justin. You certainly won't have to pay the LAHD lien as a condition of purchasing the property at the trustee's sale; but the lien or obligation secured by the lien may not necessarily wiped out by the foreclosure sale. An LAHD lien generally means the subject property has or had some pretty gnarly code violations, and that the city (after giving several notices to the record owner) paid to abate the violations. There are circumstances wherein a new owner via the foreclosure sale can still get stuck with the LAHD's tab. No idea if they apply to your situation or not. And, you'll want to do your homework, too. You'll need to see what the code violations are/were, where the property stands, and you'll need to check with the LAHD to see if the property was/is in REAP - even if the LAHD lien in question ends up actually being wiped out.
