Rent & eviction protection

Is 144541/2 W Dickens 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 1947
2 or more units
6 units

500
Zoning
LARD1.5
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 six-unit residential building at 14454-2 W Dickens Street in Sherman Oaks, owned by Db Investments LLC, was constructed in 1947 and has a relatively clean record over the past seven years. The property has received a total of 17 service requests during this period, with the most significant recorded incident occurring in August 2018 when a priority-2 building/property conversion issue was reported and resolved on the same day. More recently, in late 2025 to early 2026, the building experienced several documented service requests, though these were primarily for information-only inquiries (five in total) and one request for item pickups in December 2025, all of which were promptly closed within the same day or within a few days. The frequency of service requests appears to have decreased significantly after 2018, with no major building safety or resident experience concerns noted in the recent records, though it is worth noting that most recent requests have been resolved quickly and efficiently.

Risk rating

How 144541/2 W Dickens 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

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.
