Rent & eviction protection

Is 5302 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 1955
2 or more units
2 units

200
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1955
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 5302 N Satsuma Ave in North Hollywood is a 2-unit residential building constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Jim Fakhoury Trust. The building is undergoing significant development changes, with multiple permits issued in 2025 for major construction work, including the demolition of existing structures (both front and rear single-family dwellings and a detached garage) and site preparations for a new 5-story affordable housing apartment complex with 33 units. This new development will include various income-restricted units and has been granted incentives under the 12.22.A.25 program. The property has shown some administrative activity over the years, with five code enforcement violations recorded in the past seven years, though all were resolved in timely fashion, typically within a month. The building's history shows regular interaction with city services, including 56 service requests in the past seven years, though recent months (April-May 2026) have mostly involved neighborhood maintenance concerns such as illegal dumping and item pickups. Notably, there is a significant construction project currently in progress, with a permit issued in 2025 for shifting parts of the elevator and stairs, indicating ongoing modifications to the property's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 5302 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. 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.
