Rent & eviction protection

Is 15133 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 1959
2 or more units
8 units

500
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.

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 8-unit residential building at 15133 W Erwin St in Van Nuys, owned by Zipora Kohanim, was constructed in 1959 and has maintained an active presence with both code enforcement and municipal service requests. Over the past seven years, the property has had one recorded code enforcement violation, and significant municipal service activity with 22 MyLA311 service requests. Of particular note, there have been five service requests in 2025 alone, all related to the removal of bulky items and household appliances, suggesting ongoing issues with debris removal or improper disposal by residents or neighbors. The property has also experienced three proactive code enforcement cases in 2016, 2018, and 2022, though all were resolved on the same day they were opened. The most recent service request activity includes two illegal dumping incidents in 2025 and one in September 2024, indicating recurring challenges with waste management in the vicinity. While there is no current evidence of serious safety concerns or unresolved violations, the frequency of service requests related to waste management and illegal dumping suggests an ongoing pattern that may affect resident comfort and property upkeep.

Risk rating

How 15133 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.
