General rule of thumb is to never accept OTA updates after rooting.

Your best bet is to flash a custom ROM (if available) so OTA's stop coming through.

But i still am completely stock. Hope ota won't cause trouble. I don't have access to a computer. So flashing a custom rom is beyond question

L shouldn't brick your phone but if you update to L you will lose root.

Device has some chance of bricking if you have modified the device considerably.

I have done this with every OTA ever since 4.1. Now I dont think L on Nexus 4 has a root available yet

There are apps that let you restore root after update. Voodoo for example.
