Rent & eviction protection

Is 5517 N Corteen Pl 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.

Zoning
LAR3
Likely not RSO-covered. Buildings first occupied after October 1, 1978 are generally exempt from the LA RSO — but the statewide Tenant Protection Act below may still apply.

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1989
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 eight-unit residential building at 5517 N Corteen Place in Valley Village, owned by Joseph Eshagian, has been operational since 1989 and has undergone 13 building safety inspections over the past seven years. The property has experienced a notable increase in maintenance issues, with 55 service requests logged in the same period. Most concerning are the recent patterns of illegal dumping incidents near the property, with six separate illegal dumping item pickup requests documented between March and May 2026 alone. These incidents, though promptly addressed by the city, suggest an ongoing challenge with waste management in the immediate vicinity. The frequency of enforcement actions, particularly in the second quarter of 2026, indicates that this has become a regular issue requiring municipal intervention. While the building has maintained compliance through regular safety inspections, the recent surge in service requests warrants attention to ensure resident concerns are being adequately addressed.

Risk rating

How 5517 N Corteen Pl'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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

LA County rarely opens code cases here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. LA County has opened cases here before and is statistically likely to again.
