1. LAPD REPORT TO THE WESTSIDE
2021 – A Year in Review
by LAPD Captain, Jonathan Tom
Dear WLA Community,

Captain Jonathan Tom

2. ACCESS YOUR VACCINATION RECORD ONLINE
As the pandemic lingers on, Californians will need to hang onto their vaccination cards to enter businesses and events for the foreseeable future. The state of California is offering a digital COVID-19 vaccination record as an alternative to a physical vaccination card.
Just enter a few details to get a link to a QR code and digital copy of your COVID-19 vaccination record. If you want to share your proof of vaccination, you can use either the electronic version you’ll get from the portal or the card you were given at time of vaccination.
To receive your digital vaccination card, click here:

3. SEWERS & SIDEWALKS – REPAIR PROGRAMS
SEWER REPAIR REBATES – First-Come, First-Serve Rebates for Sewer Repairs Available from LASAN. If you pay sewer service charges to the City of Los Angeles, you may qualify for LASAN’s Sewer Lateral Rebate Program.
What’s a sewer lateral? It connects your home or business to the City’s mainline sewer system, which is usually under the street outside.
Many LA property owners are unaware that maintenance of their sewer lateral is their responsibility, so this program is an opportunity to receive support. Funds are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so don’t delay – check your eligibility now and learn more about these rebates at www.LACitySan.org/SLrebates.
SIDEWALK REPAIRS – Improving Sidewalk Safety in CD5
In December of 2016, the City of Los Angeles launched Safe Sidewalks LA, a 30-year, $1.4 billion program to make sidewalks accessible to everyone. The City of Los Angeles is committed to repairing sidewalks and improving accessibility. However, this is a large undertaking that will take time, effort and resources. Click here to learn more about need and funding, prioritization of repairs, and submitting a request.

5. REGISTER YOUR BICYCLE
Did you know? that if your bike is stolen and you haven’t registered it, then the thieves can register it in their name. In that case, it is very hard to prove that the bike was yours in the first place.
Bikeindex.org is a national databank that records bike information. It makes it harder for thieves to sell stolen bikes and makes recovery of a bike more realistic.
Register your bikes at: http://www.bikeindex.org
6. CONSTRUCTION NOISE ON SUNDAYS
We have received comments from concerned neighbors regarding construction noise outside of the permitted construction hours. While homeowners may work on their own homes personally, hired construction workers may not make noise on Sundays.
If you are doing any sort of construction on your home, please be sure to follow the Los Angeles Municipal Code rules:
41.40 LAMC – Construction Noise
Allowable Construction Hours:
— Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
— Saturdays and National Holidays between 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
— Sundays, no construction except for residents
