Rent & eviction protection

Is 4541 N Van Nuys 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 1948
2 or more units
2 units

1100
Zoning
LAC2
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
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 two-unit residential building at 4541 N Van Nuys Blvd in Sherman Oaks, constructed in 1948 and currently owned by City National Bank Trust, has a modest service request history over the past seven years, with a total of five documented incidents through the MyLA311 system. The most recent activity occurred in October 2025, involving a traffic safety concern that was promptly resolved within two days. The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, particularly notable in 2024 when there were three separate incidents (October, July, and November) requiring removal services, with the most recent graffiti incident being reported in November 2023. Two requests for bulky item removal services were recorded, one in late 2023 and another dating back to November 2018, both of which were resolved within two days. While the building's service request history shows regular maintenance and response to community needs, the pattern of graffiti incidents, particularly in 2024, stands out as the most significant recurring issue during this period.

Risk rating

How 4541 N Van Nuys 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.
