Rent & eviction protection

Is 17200 W Roscoe 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

Zoning
LARD3
Likely not RSO-covered. Buildings first occupied after October 1, 1978 are generally exempt from the LA RSO — but the statewide Tenant Protection Act below may still apply.

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 1989
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 17200 W Roscoe Blvd in Lake Balboa, owned by Peter and Suejin Kim, was built in 1989 and has undergone several notable incidents over the past seven years. The building has a concerning history of safety-related inspections, with three building safety inspections conducted during this period, including one significant violation in June 2021 for construction done without proper permits or inspections, which received a priority 2 classification. The property has also been the subject of 47 MyLA311 service requests in the past seven years, with the majority of recent activity (2025) centering around street-level issues such as illegal dumping, bulky item removal, and graffiti, indicating some ongoing maintenance and neighborhood upkeep challenges. Specifically, there were six service requests between February and August 2025, all of which were resolved promptly within a few days to three weeks, suggesting responsive management to neighborhood issues despite the lack of recent building-specific requests. While the historical building permit violation raises potential concerns, it's worth noting that most recent service requests relate to external, rather than internal or structural, building issues.

Risk rating

How 17200 W Roscoe 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. 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.
