Rent & eviction protection

Is 4849 N Topanga Canyon 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 1953
2 or more units
2 units

200
Zoning
LAR2
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 1953
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 two-unit residential property at 4849 N Topanga Canyon Blvd in Woodland Hills, built in 1953, has experienced several notable events in recent years, most significantly a roof replacement project completed in March 2026 that adhered to Class A fire safety requirements and incorporated Cool Roof technology as per VHFHSZ regulations. The building's maintenance record shows relatively few major issues, with only one code enforcement violation logged in the past seven years and a single building permit application with a modest valuation of $3,200. The property has generated a total of 35 service requests through MyLA311, with the majority being routine matters such as item pickups and information requests between 2025-2026, though one of these requests was for illegal dumping item pickup. The only closed code enforcement case on record from 2025 was classified as a general investigation, with both opening and closing dates that fall within typical processing times. While the building's overall record suggests regular maintenance and prompt response to service needs, the relatively high number of service requests in recent years, primarily consisting of item pickup and information requests, indicates ongoing attention to property management matters.

Risk rating

How 4849 N Topanga Canyon 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

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.
