On Feb. 5, 2025, the Venice special magistrate found that the Hanneman Family Trust had brought the property at 219 West Venice Avenue into compliance with an administrative order entered Dec. 4, 2024.
The magistrate’s finding followed sworn testimony from Billy Acosta, who identified himself as a Venice code enforcement officer. Acosta told the magistrate that the roof repair permit had been issued, the roof had been repaired and foamed, cleaning crews were working inside the property and the property “has been sold.”
“Based on the sworn testimony and evidence presented, I find that respondent is compliant,” the magistrate said on the record.
The magistrate recorded that the respondent is on notice that future violations of “chapter 88, section 3.3 or chapter 34, section 34‑81 of the city code of ordinances” will cause the respondent to be deemed a repeat violator and subject to a fine of up to $500 per day for each new violation beginning on the day the violation occurred. No further action was taken on this item at the hearing.
