My updated expected monthly rental income will be $2,800, resulting in a cash flow of $795 per month (excluding my share of the split utilities).I plan to set aside at least 80% of my cash flow for property-related expenses.Additionally, I’ll be installing keypads and security cameras for enhanced safety and operational efficiency.

If your company were to manage the STR in CR how do you deal with matter of safety / home burglaries? 

We would do a safety check and enter the property.

I also received a letter from the county saying that my property is in violation of several health and safety codes. 

To me, safety is relative.

I don't believe that will change as long as the school system and public safety levels remain some of the worst in the state.

That extra cash flow isnt safety, its the market signaling with a big red flashing light, Risk.

However, the reality is that a tenant can break their lease at any time by just not paying and the owner will lose that income; so a lease is just a false sense of safety. 

My concern is whether the city could deny permits for these modifications, such as removing walls or converting a garage, or if they are mainly just concerned with safety and habitability.

If so, then find out what you have to do to have him removed as domestic violence allows the tenant to move without 30 days' notice (to ensure her safety).
