## Resource

JD Home Rentals, a Fresno-based landlord empire tied to the Hovannisian family, controls over 2,100 properties across the county — possibly more — sparking a high-stakes legal battle with the City of Fresno over code enforcement. Since 1978, the company has managed thousands of units, facing decades of tenant lawsuits and accusations of substandard housing. Now, as Fresno tightens its inspection policies, JD claims it’s being unfairly targeted as a scapegoat for systemic housing failures — and the showdown continues to shape the future of rental regulation in the valley.
