LAHD SCEP help for South Bay owners with Los Angeles rentals.
You can live, work or search from the South Bay and still arrange a private SCEP pre-inspection for a rental property inside the City of Los Angeles. Send the notice online; the field visit happens at the property.

Owner location ≠ property jurisdiction
A South Bay address can belong to the owner—not the inspected building.
Torrance, Gardena, Carson, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and the Palos Verdes cities are common home and office locations for Los Angeles rental owners. Their present location does not change whether another property is subject to LAHD SCEP.
We qualify the actual rental property address first. A building in Harbor Gateway, Harbor City, Wilmington, San Pedro, Pacific Palisades or another City of Los Angeles neighborhood can be reviewed even when the owner manages it from the South Bay.

Search locally. Manage remotely.
Your current location does not delay the property review.
The useful starting point is the City of Los Angeles property address, the LAHD notice and the scheduled inspection date.

Route each building by its actual city because neighboring properties may fall under different inspection programs.

Walk the rental property
Visible, accessible areas are reviewed at the Los Angeles property within the agreed private scope.

Receive the written action plan
Photo findings are prioritized and routed to maintenance, licensed trades, permit review or a specialist.
Questions from South Bay
Where you search is not where SCEP applies.
Have the Los Angeles rental property address ready.
Can I hire Owl Tower if I live in Torrance?
Yes. The private intake can begin wherever the owner is located. The property being prepared for SCEP must be within LAHD jurisdiction and fit the program.
Does SCEP apply to my Torrance rental property?
No. Torrance is a separate incorporated city. This page is for South Bay-based owners or managers who have a qualifying rental property inside the City of Los Angeles.
What if my portfolio includes both Torrance and Los Angeles properties?
Send the addresses and notices separately. We identify which properties belong to LAHD SCEP and do not represent a non-Los Angeles property as part of that program.
Do I need to attend the walkthrough?
Not necessarily. Access and authorized contacts can be coordinated case by case, but the scope and property access must be confirmed before scheduling.
