Rent & eviction protection

Is 6853 N Van Nuys 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.

LAC2
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.

Coverage unclear. AB 1482 turns on the certificate-of-occupancy date and property type — confirm the year the building was completed.

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 four-unit residential building at 6853 N Van Nuys Blvd in Van Nuys has undergone several notable activities in recent years, with particular attention to building maintenance and safety concerns. Most recently, three pro-active code enforcement cases were opened and closed on March 6, 2023, indicating recent oversight by building authorities. Between 2022 and 2026, significant improvements were made to the property, including a re-roofing project completed in February 2026 with Class A materials as required in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and a tenant improvement project for an existing take-out restaurant completed in December 2022, with a total permit valuation of $63,800. The building has seen regular interaction with municipal services, generating 127 service requests through 311 in the past seven years. Notably, there were multiple reports of unauthorized construction activity in August 2021, warranting priority 2 attention from building safety authorities, though these issues do not appear to have resulted in any ongoing violations. The property has also experienced some maintenance challenges, with several instances of graffiti requiring removal (most recently in February 2026) and one incident of illegal dumping in June 2025, all of which were promptly addressed through official channels. The building has maintained an active record of enforcement and improvement activity, suggesting both ongoing oversight and responsiveness to resident needs.

Risk rating

How 6853 N Van Nuys 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.

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.
