Rent & eviction protection

Is 5911 N Woodman Ave 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

Zoning
LARD1.5
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1989
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 5911 N Woodman Ave in Valley Glen is an 8-unit apartment building constructed in 1989, currently owned by Empire Land Development Inc. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance and community cleanliness issues, with six separate illegal dumping incidents requiring city intervention between April and August 2025, all of which were resolved within one to two days. This clustering of illegal dumping incidents suggests ongoing challenges with waste management or property maintenance in the surrounding area. In December 2025, there was one additional illegal dumping incident, also addressed promptly. A landscape maintenance request from May 2026 was cancelled shortly after submission, and while this is not an enforcement issue, it does indicate potential concerns about property upkeep. The building's code enforcement history shows only one pro-active case opened and closed on the same day in September 2018, with no documented violations or penalties. The total of eight MyLA311 service requests over the past seven years, while not an excessive number, primarily relates to community cleanliness issues rather than residential property maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 5911 N Woodman Ave'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

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.
