Rent & eviction protection

Is 5820 N Tujunga 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
Built 1953
2 or more units
8 units

500
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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 8-unit residential building at 5820 N Tujunga Ave in North Hollywood, built in 1953 and currently owned by Imp Properties LLC, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past seven years. Most notably, the property replaced two staircases with new steel staircases in 2021 and completed a mandatory roof replacement with appropriate fire-rated materials in 2020, achieving final approval from building safety. The building has faced some concerning issues regarding security and maintenance, with multiple reports of the property being left open to the public during 2016-2017, though these incidents occurred several years ago, prior to the current owner's tenure. A citywide nuisance abatement case related to the property opened in 2016 and remained active until 2022, but details on the resolution are not specified in the records. The property has maintained an active response to waste management needs, with multiple MyLA311 service requests for bulky items and illegal dumping pickups throughout 2023-2024, indicating ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance, though these recent incidents appear to be promptly addressed by city services. The building's overall record shows regular safety inspections (58 in the past seven years) and limited permitted improvements totaling $20,000, suggesting routine maintenance is being carried out under appropriate oversight.

Risk rating

How 5820 N Tujunga 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.
