Rent & eviction protection

Is 5441 N Sepulveda Blvd 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 1958
2 or more units
24 units
Use code
501
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.

Just-cause eviction

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 24-unit residential building at 5441 N Sepulveda Blvd in Sherman Oaks, owned by Sepulveda Rose LLC, has been in existence since 1958. The property has experienced a notable increase in service activity in 2026, with six service requests between late April and May, primarily related to illegal dumping and incomplete services, though most of these cases were resolved promptly within days of being reported. Looking at the longer-term history, the building has maintained consistent oversight with 17 building safety inspections and 4 building permits recorded in the past seven years, along with 143 service requests through the 311 system during this period. Of particular note, there was a pro-active code enforcement case opened and closed on January 2, 2018, though no specific details about the nature of this case are available in the records. The overall frequency of service requests suggests regular maintenance needs and resident concerns, while the structure's age and history indicate typical mid-century Los Angeles construction characteristics.

Risk rating

How 5441 N Sepulveda Blvd'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.
