I think it might be on a Transform Plate Boundary.
It has thousands of active faults running through the city. But Los Angeles doesn't get too many earthquakes. The last earthquake to be diretly in Los Angeles County, that was moderate, was a 5.5 on 7/29/08. Los Angeles does feel earthquakes from other parts of California and Mexico. The last time this happened was a 7.2 in Baja California, that most of Los Angeles felt.

Because it is located close to the edge of the continental plate, which is close to the Pacific plate.
the plate boundary at the mount is a colliding plate boundary
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
Divergent plate boundary
convergent plate boundary
The San Andreas Fault is the sliding boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. It slices California in two from Cape Mendocino to the Mexican border. San Diego, Los Angeles and Big Sur are on the Pacific Plate. San Francisco, Sacramento and the Sierra Nevada are on the North American Plate.
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
