Rent & eviction protection

Is 14841 W Sylvan 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 1926
2 or more units
3 units
Use code
300
Zoning
LAR3
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 1926
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

This three-unit building at 14841 W Sylvan St in Van Nuys, built in 1926 and currently owned by Calu LLC, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, there have been three code enforcement violations recorded in the past seven years, with multiple pro-active code enforcement cases opened and closed on the same day (June 13, 2022, and April 22, 2019), all of which were processed in the South Valley area. The building has been the subject of 15 MyLA311 service requests in the past seven years, including several consecutive item pickup requests in 2025 and a report of trash or debris on private property in January 2014. Two bulky item removal requests were made and closed in January 2025, and an illegal dumping incident was reported and resolved in December 2024. While many service requests have been promptly addressed and closed, the pattern of pro-active code enforcement cases and multiple waste-related service requests suggests ongoing monitoring of maintenance and waste management practices at this property.

Risk rating

How 14841 W Sylvan 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.
