Legalizing unpermitted ADU - Los Angeles CA

[Ben Lue]

I recently purchased a 3/1 home in El Monte, CA that came with a 350 square foot 1/1 ADU. Build condition looks pretty good but its old so I'm unsure if it will meet code. Can anyone provide insight or share their experience with this?

Thank you!

Check out SB13 and what it states about unpermitted ADUs.  

 This bill would authorize the owner of an accessory dwelling unit built before January 1, 2020, or built on or after January 1, 2020, under specified circumstances, that receives a notice to correct violations or abate nuisances to request that the enforcement of the violation be delayed for 5 years if correcting the violation is not necessary to protect health and safety, as determined by the enforcement agency, subject to specified requirements....

Good luck
