Rent & eviction protection

Is 14128 W Erwin 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 1925
2 or more units
2 units

300
Zoning
LARD1.5
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

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 building at 14128 W Erwin St in Van Nuys, owned by Farahnaz Shahian and Kamyar Manouchehri, has a significant history since its construction in 1925. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced numerous interactions with city services, including 12 building safety inspections, two building permits, and a total of 111 service requests through the 311 system. A cluster of four pro-active code enforcement cases was opened and closed on the same day in May 2022, suggesting either an inspection requirement or a specific operational response. Earlier, in January 2019, two pro-active code enforcement cases were recorded and resolved within the same day. The property has also been the subject of multiple illegal dumping incidents, with six such reports filed between February and June 2026, all of which were promptly addressed and closed. Additionally, there was one building/property use conversion complaint recorded and resolved in May 2016. While the frequency of service requests and inspections is notable, it's worth mentioning that most recent code enforcement actions were resolved promptly, indicating some responsiveness to regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 14128 W Erwin 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

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.
