Rent & eviction protection

Is 11002 W Hortense 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 1940
2 or more units
3 units
Use code
300
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1940
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
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 three-unit property at 11002 W Hortense St in North Hollywood, built in 1940 and currently owned by Mitchell A Kahn, has experienced several notable events over the past several years. Most recently, in October 2023, there was a general code investigation opened and closed within a matter of days, though the specific findings of this investigation are not detailed in the records. Looking back further, there was a building and safety request in May 2021 regarding general repairs needed on the property, which suggests some maintenance issues were present at that time. The property has generated a total of 42 service requests through MyLA311 over the past seven years, with the majority occurring between December 2022 and October 2023. These requests have primarily focused on external issues rather than internal building concerns, including multiple instances of illegal dumping item pickups, street receptacle concerns, and service completion issues, all of which were promptly addressed and closed. While the building has had one code enforcement violation on record in the past seven years, the relatively quick resolution of recent code investigation and safety requests, along with the prompt handling of service requests, indicates that while the property may have periodic maintenance and external issues, there is a system in place for addressing these concerns as they arise.

Risk rating

How 11002 W Hortense 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

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.
