Talk to Los Angeles Building And Safety Department.

If there is no fence and one owner wants one, the courst will even order shared cost or if an old fence becomes a hazard (e.g. leaning and ready to fall), boths sides pay for repair / replacement.

I attempted to send them a letter written by my grandma’s Doctor how much of a hazard that tree is, no success.

Renting to a family member has its own hazards.

Tenants move out for the same reason.A property manager is there to oversee the safety of the building.

It was listed as an environmental hazard on form 17 (seller disclosures).

Some of this is foreign money that is being parked here -not for appreciation but merely for safety. 

So legally couldn't spend the money anyway, so I've got a safety there lol.

However, for most of us, we don't have staff manning the address and you definitely don't want to put your home address either for privacy and safety reasons..

There is enough risk and more than enough moving pieces in real estate as it is, no need to compound the risk by not having a safety net and buying with high interest debt.
