The bottom line
Currently 98, a clean A, from an owner-requested re-inspection. But a surprise visit scored 84 with a severe issue: sewage or wastewater not draining properly. Worth a closer look, since the re-check was owner-requested, not a surprise.

An inspection is a snapshot of one day. A clean score isn't a guarantee, and a low one doesn't mean you'll get sick. Official LA County Public Health data, translated, not changed. Refreshed weekly from the county feed.
