Inspection pressure

The Los Angeles Housing Department's Foreclosure Registry covers properties with an active Notice of Default and bank-owned homes. Monthly inspections include an exterior photo, and an uncorrected violation can cost $250 a day after notice and 30 days. Lenders and asset managers should check what's required with the city. Our job is getting junk off the property before the next visit.

Who this is for

Listing agents Need it empty before the photographer comes.
Investors Want it clear before the crew starts on a flip.
New owners Bought at auction with belongings left inside. Talk to your attorney first.

Tenant rules

Under California law, a month-to-month tenant generally gets 90 days' written notice after a foreclosure, and a fixed-term lease can continue in some cases. Los Angeles has its own Just Cause rules too. Ask your attorney. Once you're cleared to go ahead, tell us who authorized the job.

How we work

We get the biggest pieces out first and keep walkways clear, so nobody's stepping over piles to get through the house.

From the owner

We had Encino jobs on June 30 and July 17, 2026. What looks disposable to us might be valuable to the person who owns it, so we make room for your judgment, even when we'd choose differently.

Pricing

Each truck is priced by how much of it your load fills: $225 for an eighth, $325 for a quarter, $490 for a half, $635 for three-quarters and $745 for a full truck. If the job spans a house, a garage and a large yard, expect more than one load.

Driveway Safe is licensed and insured, and it's owned and run by David Steven in Lake Balboa. Call or text 818-231-3056 any hour, and tell us what you're working on.
