Unlock complete reportIs 13203 W Sherman Way 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.
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.
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.
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.
The property at 13203 W Sherman Way in Valley Glen is a 4-unit building constructed in 1936, currently owned by Jerry W Otworth Trust. The building's record over the past seven years shows a total of 33 service requests through the MyLA311 system, two building permits, and four building safety inspections. The most recent activity on record has been concentrated in the latter part of 2025, with six consecutive "Service Not Complete" requests filed between December 17 and December 22 of that year, all of which were subsequently cancelled, suggesting possible communication or process issues with service requests. In early 2026, there was one successful closure of a graffiti removal request. While the building is relatively old, at 87 years, and has experienced regular maintenance issues requiring city services, the recent cluster of service requests and their cancellations in late 2025 warrants attention as the most significant recent pattern in the building's history.

How 13203 W Sherman Way'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.
Out of 1067 buildings in this neighborhood, 992 are predicted to be safer.
