Rent & eviction protection

Is 142061/2 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 1920
2 or more units
3 units

200
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
Built 1920
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 property at 142061/2 W Erwin St in Van Nuys is a 3-unit residential building owned by Ramon and Amparo Hernandez, dating back to 1920. The building has experienced some activity over the past few years, with a noteworthy cluster of events in 2022 when four pro-active code enforcement cases were opened and closed on the same day (May 26, 2022) in the South Valley area. Additionally, there was another set of two pro-active code enforcement cases from January 29, 2019, in the same area, which were also resolved on the same day. More recently, during 2025-2026, there has been a pattern of service requests related to illegal dumping, with five such incidents reported between January and February 2026, all of which have been promptly closed within a few days of reporting. A tree emergency was also reported and resolved between October 14-15, 2025. While the building has had multiple service requests and code enforcement cases, it's worth noting that all documented cases have been resolved quickly, with no open violations currently on record as of October 2023. The majority of these incidents appear to relate to external property management issues rather than internal building conditions.

Risk rating

How 142061/2 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.

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.
