Rent & eviction protection

Is 17701 W Ventura Blvd 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
5 units

1100
Zoning
LAC4
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 property at 17701 W Ventura Blvd in Encino is a 5-unit residential building constructed in 1958, currently owned by 17701-05 Ventura Boulevard LLC. The building has a notable history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly between 2015 and 2022, when there were multiple reports of the property being left abandoned or vacant with open access points, as well as blocked exits, passageways, or windows. These concerning safety issues were categorized as high priority. More recently, in 2024-2026, there has been a significant planned transformation of the property, with an issued permit to convert existing commercial retail space into an adult day care facility operating Monday through Friday, 8 am to 2 pm, with Saturday and Sunday closures. The building's recent service requests (2025-2026) have primarily focused on external issues, including three reports of homeless encampments in September 2025 and several requests for graffiti removal. While there has been one building permit issued in the past seven years valued at $50,000, the property has generated a relatively high volume of 311 service requests (171) during this period, though most of these are not detailed in the available records. A traffic safety concern was recently reported in May 2026 and remains open at this time.

Risk rating

How 17701 W Ventura Blvd'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.

What the score means for you

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.
