Rent & eviction protection

Is 5652 N Satsuma 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 1929
2 or more units
2 units

200
Zoning
LAR2
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 1929
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 property at 5652 N Satsuma Ave in North Hollywood is a 2-unit structure built in 1929, currently owned by Marceleno and Anne Markey Trusts. The building has undergone significant recent development, including the addition of a new detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in 2022, which was properly permitted under GCS 65852.2 and LAMC regulations, and the demolition of an existing garage in the same year. During the 2014-2022 period, there were multiple code enforcement cases opened, all of which were promptly closed on the same day they were opened, suggesting proactive compliance by the owners. The property has experienced regular maintenance and service requests, with 26 MyLA311 requests in the past seven years, primarily related to bulky items and metal/household appliances. The most recent service requests from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance of the property. Between 2014 and 2020, the property underwent various building permit activities with a total valuation of $35,000, and has maintained a record of 15 building safety inspections during the past seven years. Notably, a foreclosure registration was recorded in 2015 with NationStar as the lender, though there is no indication of any ongoing foreclosure status. The property appears to be actively managed, with all recent modifications properly permitted and no outstanding code violations on record.

Risk rating

How 5652 N Satsuma 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.

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.
