Rent & eviction protection

Is 5237 N Cahuenga Blvd 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 1958
2 or more units
6 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1958
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 residential property at 5237 N Cahuenga Blvd in North Hollywood is a 6-unit building constructed in 1958, currently owned by Arie and Maxine J Sussan Trustees. Over the past seven years, the building has undergone one notable improvement - a recent roof replacement completed in July 2025 that adhered to Class A or B material requirements and included Cool Roof Product certification as required in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). The building has experienced some regulatory oversight, with three code enforcement violations recorded in the past seven years, though all three of these were promptly resolved within single days in 2022, during a period of increased pro-active code enforcement in the South Valley area. The property has a relatively high volume of service requests through the MyLA311 system, with 53 calls recorded in the past seven years, most recently including multiple bulky item pickups and metal/appliance removal services in November 2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, with three building permits issued in the past seven years, though the total permit valuation appears modest at $9,000. The property has undergone 21 building safety inspections during this period, indicating regular oversight and monitoring by building safety authorities.

Risk rating

How 5237 N Cahuenga Blvd'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.
