Our PurposeThe purpose of the Park LaBrea Residents Association (PLBRA) is to protect resident's rights, to provide a viable liaison with Park La Brea Management, and to contribute to enhancing the quality of life in our community. PLBRA represents the residents of Park La Brea. It is their voice in this changing community.

From the President’s Desk:Possible Rent Reduction due to the Washer/Dryer Project
If you have lost a significant amount of your closet space as a result of the Washer/Dryer renovation work, here is what you can do in order to be properly compensated for your loss. Submit a claim to Park La Brea Resident Services requesting compensation for the loss of your closet space. Park La Brea will probably deny your claim. If Park La Brea denies your claim, then call the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) at (866) 557-7368 to explain the situation and ask to open a claim for a “Reduction of Services.” LAHD will explain how to submit your claim and what attachments to include (e.g., copy of Lease, copy of recent Rent Statement, copy of PLB denial of your claim). Ask for your case number so that you can expeditiously follow up on your claim. If you need to follow up with someone at the L.A. Housing Department before an investigator has been assigned to your case, you can contact April Aguilar, who is one of their supervisory investigators, at (213) 252-1431. Your LAHD claim can also be filed online at: lahd.lacity.org. Consider filing a claim if you have lost a significant amount of closet space. If your claim is approved, your rent could be reduced by as much as $300/year ($25/month) for the life of your lease, plus you will get a lump sum amount that is retroactive to the date of the construction. You have the right to be compensated for your loss of space and the initial application process will take no more than three to four hours of your time. |

PLAYGROUND SAFETY
• The playground should have safety-tested mats or loose-fill materials (shredded rubber, sand, wood chips, or bark). • Equipment should be carefully maintained. • Swing seats should be made of soft materials such as rubber, plastic or canvas. • Make sure children cannot reach any moving parts that might pinch or trap any body part. • Never attach—or allow children to attach-- ropes, jump ropes, leashes, or similar items to play equipment; children can strangle on these. If you see something tied to the playground equipment remove it or call PLB Service to remove it. • Make sure your children remove helmets and anything looped around their necks. • Metal, rubber and plastic products can get very hot in the summer, especially under direct sun. • Do not allow children to play barefoot on the playground. • Parents should supervise children on play equipment to make sure they are safe.
