5420 Lindley Ave, Encino.What the Record Shows.
A condominium complex on Lindley Avenue in Encino, known locally as Lindbrook. Every figure below comes from the County Assessor, with the source and the date beside it, and everything that could not be confirmed is listed as such.
Quick Answer
What is 5420 Lindley Ave?
5420 Lindley Ave is a condominium building in Encino, CA 91316. Owners hold title to an individual home plus a share of the common areas, and pay a monthly assessment to a homeowners association that maintains the structure and grounds.
It suits a buyer who wants to be in Encino at a price single-family stock nearby does not reach, and who will do the reading a shared building asks for: the budget, the reserves, the rules, and whether a lender approves the project. Everything below is either what an authority says, with a link to it, or a plain statement that a figure could not be confirmed.

Each line is what a named authority publishes, with the page it came from and the date it was read. Nothing is estimated, and nothing comes from a listing portal.
- Assessor parcel number
- 2162-001-003 through 2162-001-036
- The parcels carrying this street number. The wider run for the whole subdivision is 2162-001-003 through 2162-001-083; the parcel immediately before it is a separate 1964 property under a different tract, and the parcels immediately after it belong to a different 1979 condominium subdivision.

- Year built
- 1973
- The Assessor reports both a year built and an effective year of 1973, identically on the first and last parcels in the run.

- Number of units
- 81
- Counted from the Assessor’s own parcels: 81 consecutive condominium parcels were created under Tract No. 27359 on this single shared lot, and the numbers either side of the run belong to other properties. This is the figure an association budget and a lender work from, and it is larger than the count at this street number alone.

- Condominium
- Assessor use code 010C, purpose-built condominium: each owner holds an individual airspace parcel plus an interest in the common areas.

- Zoning
- LAR3
- The zoning the Assessor carries on the parcels; City of Los Angeles building permits filed for both street numbers record it as R3-1. Zoning governs what may be built, not what stands there. Confirm the current designation with the City before relying on it.

- Recorded tract
- Tract No. 27359
- The single recorded condominium subdivision every home here was created under. It matters because the subdivision, not the street number, is what defines the project a lender and an association budget actually work from.

- Homes at this street number
- 34
- The 81 homes in the subdivision are addressed across two street numbers: 34 carry 5420 Lindley Ave and the remaining 47 carry 5440 Lindley Ave. That is one condominium project on one lot with two street numbers, not two projects, and it is the fact most commonly reported wrongly elsewhere.

- Lot size (shared parcel)
- 112,127 square feet
- The single shared lot the whole subdivision sits on, reported identically on every parcel in the run. Not the size of any one home. Aryan’s own MLS record for the home his client bought gives 112,163 square feet for the same lot, a difference of 36 square feet; the two sources disagree slightly and the Assessor figure is the one published here.

Not Published, and Why
Things a buyer would expect to see here that no authority confirmed on the date this page was reviewed. A number that cannot be checked is worse than no number.
How many stories the buildings have
The Assessor publishes no story count for these parcels, and the City permit records for both street numbers leave the story field empty. Two sources were checked and neither answers it, so no number is stated.
The homeowners association and its corporate status
The California Secretary of State business search could not be completed: the site returned an automated security block, which was not bypassed. Nothing is published here until that search is run by hand. In particular it is not established whether the 81 homes are governed by one association or more than one.
HOA dues
No association document or statement was obtained. Dues change every year and republished figures are frequently stale, so no amount appears here. Ask the seller for the current statement.
Amenities such as a pool, elevator, gated parking or laundry
No authoritative source describes the shared facilities. A 2017 City elevator permit exists for the adjoining street number in this same subdivision, which is not the same as confirming what exists today or where. Verify on a visit and in the documents.
Earthquake retrofit status
The complex does not appear in the City of Los Angeles soft-story retrofit datasets searched. Absence from a list is not a finding that it was exempt, compliant or evaluated. Ask the association and the Department of Building and Safety.
The recorded condominium plan and the original construction permit
The City’s online permit data does not reach back to the original 1973 construction, and the recorded condominium plan was not retrieved from the County Registrar-Recorder. Both can be ordered from those offices.
Anything about the home Aryan’s client bought beyond the recorded sale
Its size, layout and asking price sit in a client’s transaction record. The closing price and month appear on the closed transactions page as they do for every other sale; nothing further is published, and the home is not identified.
If you own in this building and can supply the association documents, Aryan will add what they show, attributed to the document and dated.
From Aryan’s Own Transaction Record
These are not public-record facts and they carry no link, because the source is the MLS record on a transaction Aryan was on rather than a county or city system. His record, so his to cite, but kept apart from the table above so the two are never mistaken for each other. No MLS description or MLS photograph is used anywhere on this site; that material is licensed to the listing.
- Complex name
- Lindbrook
- No County or City record consulted carries a name for this complex, so this is not offered as a public-record fact. It is what the MLS record on Aryan’s own transaction calls it, which is also how it is referred to locally.

Have you closed a sale in this building?
I represented the buyer on a sale in this building in 2024.
The sale is recorded under MLS number 24408987. The home is not identified and will not be: a designation like that identifies a client’s residence. The sale is listed with his role, the closing month and the price alongside every other closed sale on the closed transactions record.
What that is worth is narrow: one escrow here and one association packet read. It does not make him an authority on the association’s finances today, and it is a purchase rather than a listing, so it says nothing about how homes here are marketed.
It does mean he has read this association’s documents once, recently, and knows which questions this complex actually raises. Confirm anything that matters against the current documents the seller must provide.
Before You Call
What to check before buying in a Encino condo building
None of this is specific to this building. It is the standard list for any shared building in Los Angeles, and it is where condo purchases go wrong when it is skipped.
- HOA reserves and the operating budgetWhat the association has saved against what the building will need. Underfunded reserves make a special assessment a question of when, not whether.
- Special assessments, past and pendingWhat has been levied, what is under discussion, what the board has deferred. Open assessing often beats keeping dues low by postponing work.
- Rental caps and minimum lease termsCaps, minimum lease lengths, waiting lists and outright bans. Decisive if you might ever let the home, and routinely discovered late.
- Pet rules and parkingGoverned by the CC&Rs and house rules, not the listing. Confirm how many spaces come with the home and whether they are deeded, assigned or leased.
- Earthquake retrofit and insuranceWhether the building has been retrofitted, what the association carries and what it excludes. Earthquake cover is usually separate and is a real carrying cost.
- Lender approval of the associationFHA, VA and conventional warrantability are project-level decisions. A building can be pleasant to own and still hard to finance, which shrinks the buyer pool later.
- The California seller disclosure packageCalifornia requires the seller to deliver the association documents. Request them early; if the association is slow to produce them, that is itself information.
This is general information, not legal, tax or lending advice. Confirm current requirements with the association, your lender and the applicable agency.
Each is covered properly elsewhere rather than repeated here: the condo and townhome guide on the four documents that decide a purchase, and the Resource Center for the agency behind each rule, with the date each link was checked.
If you own here and are thinking about selling.
Pricing here is narrower than pricing a house. The closest comparables are other homes in this building: same assessment, same rules, same lender treatment. Floor, outlook, parking and condition do the rest. A comparable from a building a street away misleads in both directions, and how many homes here are listed at once is a real variable.
Get the association paperwork moving early.
The documents California requires you to deliver take time and cost money. Ordering them when you decide to sell rather than in escrow removes the commonest source of delay, and lets you see what a buyer will see first. If something in the packet will give a buyer pause, better to know while you control the timing.
Aryan will review the association package with you and give you a written pricing and selling review built on the homes this one actually competes with.

About ThisBuilding.
How many homes are at 5420 Lindley Ave?
Thirty-four carry the 5420 street number, but they are part of a single 81-home condominium subdivision, Tract No. 27359, which sits on one shared lot and is addressed across 5420 and 5440 Lindley Ave. Both counts come from the Los Angeles County Assessor, which assesses a condominium one ownership parcel at a time. The 81 figure is the one that matters for an association budget and for a lender reviewing the project, and it is the number most commonly reported wrongly.
Is 5420 Lindley the same complex as 5440 Lindley?
Yes, on the public record. Every parcel at both street numbers was created under the same recorded subdivision, Tract No. 27359, sits on the same 112,127 square foot lot, and reports the same 1973 year built. Two street numbers on one condominium project is ordinary and usually reflects how the buildings are laid out on the site. What the Assessor does not establish is whether one association or more than one governs them, so confirm that in the governing documents rather than assuming it.
When was 5420 Lindley Ave built?
In 1973, according to the Los Angeles County Assessor, which reports both a year built and an effective year of 1973 across the parcels. A complex of that age generally predates current seismic, energy and accessibility requirements, which is why the retrofit, insurance and reserve questions below are worth asking before you write an offer.
What is the complex called?
Lindbrook. That name does not appear in any County or City record consulted for this page. It is what the MLS record on Aryan’s own transaction here calls it, and it is how the complex is referred to locally, so it is published with that attribution rather than as a public-record fact. If you need the legal name of the association, that is a different thing again and it comes from the governing documents.
What are the HOA dues at 5420 Lindley Ave?
This page does not say, because no association document or statement was obtained. Dues change every year and figures republished elsewhere are often out of date. California requires the seller to give you the current association documents, and that packet is where the real number is. Ask for it early rather than waiting for escrow.
Is the complex approved for FHA, VA or conventional financing?
Unknown from any public source, and it is not a fixed property of the buildings. Lender approval is a project-level decision that turns on the association’s reserves, delinquency rate, owner-occupancy ratio, pending litigation and insurance, and it can change from one year to the next. Note also that a lender reviews the whole recorded project, so the relevant size here is 81 homes rather than 34. Ask your lender to check the project before you write an offer.
Can I rent out a home in this complex?
That is set by the association’s governing documents rather than by anything in the public record, and no copy of them was obtained for this page. Rental caps, minimum lease terms and waiting lists are common in complexes of this age and they are frequently discovered late. Read the CC&Rs and the current house rules before you assume an investment use works.
Has the complex had an earthquake retrofit?
Not established. It does not appear in the City of Los Angeles soft-story retrofit datasets that were searched, but absence from a list is not a finding that a building was exempt or already compliant. The association and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety are the two places that can answer it properly.
Have you sold in this complex?
Yes. Aryan represented the buyer on a sale here in 2024, recorded under MLS number 24408987. The home is not identified, because a unit designation identifies a client’s residence. The sale appears with his role, the closing month and the price on the closed transactions record alongside every other sale he has closed.
The OthersOn This Site.
Several of these sit on the same street or in the same neighborhood, and they are not interchangeable. Each page covers one recorded project and nothing else.
5400 Lindley Ave and 5420 Lindley Ave are two different complexes on the same street: 5400 Lindley Ave is a 71-home subdivision built in 1970 on a 55,263 square foot lot, and this one is part of an 81-home subdivision built in 1973 on a 112,127 square foot lot addressed across 5420 and 5440. They were recorded separately and nothing on either page describes the other.
