Rent & eviction protection

Is 18618 W Hart 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 1923
2 or more units
2 units

300
Zoning
LAR1
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 two-unit residential property at 18618 W Hart St in Reseda, built in 1923, has experienced noteworthy activity over the past decade. The building has been subject to 45 service requests through 311 in the past seven years, with seven building safety inspections conducted during the same period. A significant general code investigation case was opened in November 2014 and remained active until May 2017, which warrants attention to the building's compliance history. In October 2014, there was a building and property use conversion complaint filed and resolved within two weeks. The most recent records from 2025-2026 show a pattern of regular item pickups, with five such requests occurring between September 2025 and June 2026, suggesting ongoing management of property waste or recycling services. Additionally, there was a metal/appliance pickup request in February 2025, indicating possible disposal of larger items from the property. While these service requests demonstrate active maintenance of waste management, the building's century-old age and history of code investigation merit careful consideration of its overall condition and compliance history.

Risk rating

How 18618 W Hart 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

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.
