The Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department announced that to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the department today temporarily closed its five public counters.
HCIDLA will maintain operations but limit the scope of its work to prevent exposure to both staff and the public, according to Rushmore Cervantes, the department’s general manager.
The HCIDLA hotline will continue service during regular business days and hours. Residents can call 866-557-7368 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, or submit housing-related inquiries to hcidla.lacity.org/ask-
hcidla.
Effective Monday, Systematic Code Enforcement Program inspections will be suspended until further notice. HCIDLA will continue to deploy inspectors in the event of life-safety code violations and fire-related tenant displacement issues, according to a department statement.
