Rent & eviction protection

Is 20238 W Saticoy St 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 1971
2 or more units
3 units
Use code
2600
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1971
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
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 20238 W Saticoy St in Winnetka, owned by Darren A Kessler Trust, has undergone several documented incidents and service requests over the past decade. The property, constructed in 1971, had a notable code enforcement issue in mid-2013 regarding outdoor advertisements and signs offering goods or services, which was resolved within approximately one month. The most recent patterns of activity, particularly from late 2024 through 2026, show multiple instances of service-related issues, with three "Service Not Complete" requests in early 2026, two cancelled service requests in 2025, and reports of illegal dumping that were successfully addressed in April and December 2024. A homeless encampment situation was reported on September 16, 2025. While the building's official records span various issues, the most recent and frequent concerns relate to service completion matters and environmental cleanliness around the property, though it's important to note that the majority of these recent requests have been resolved or closed promptly.

Risk rating

How 20238 W Saticoy St'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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

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

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

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

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

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