Rent & eviction protection

Is 7120 N Owensmouth Ave rent-stabilized?

The Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) caps annual rent increases and requires a legal reason to evict for most rental units first built on or before October 1, 1978. Here's how this building scores on the signals that usually point to coverage.

Built on/before Oct 1, 1978
Built 1958
2 or more units
3 units

1100
Zoning
LAC2
Likely covered by the RSO. Building age and unit count suggest most units fall under LA's Rent Stabilization Ordinance, which limits yearly rent increases and requires just cause to evict.

Based on LA County Assessor records. Coverage also extends to condos, townhomes, duplexes, and units attached to commercial buildings. Not legal advice — confirm with the LA Housing Department.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Annual rent increase cap

Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7120 N Owensmouth Ave in Canoga Park, owned by Lily Q Kwan, was constructed in 1958 and has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. Most concerning are two identical complaints received in August 2017 regarding the property being converted to another use, though these were closed shortly after they were filed. More recently, in late 2023, there have been two separate incidents of dead animal removal from the property, occurring within three months of each other (September and December). The building has also faced challenges with illegal dumping, with two incidents requiring city intervention in 2022 and 2020, both of which were successfully resolved within a week. In 2017 and 2019, there were incidents of graffiti affecting the property, with the 2019 complaint ultimately being cancelled. The relatively small number of service requests over this seven-year period (five in total) compared to the building's age suggests moderate maintenance issues, though the nature of these complaints has varied, encompassing both external environmental factors (like illegal dumping and animal removal) and potentially more concerning issues like the reported change of use complaints.

Risk rating

How 7120 N Owensmouth Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of LA County code enforcement data — code enforcement cases, building & safety requests, foreclosure registrations, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that LA County will open a code enforcement case at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

LA County rarely opens code cases here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. LA County has opened cases here before and is statistically likely to again.
