Rent & eviction protection

Is 13238 N Bradley 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 1949
2 or more units

100
Zoning
LARA
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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 13238 N Bradley Ave in Sylmar is a 2-unit building constructed in 1949, currently owned by Salvador and Marlet Martinez Trusts. Over the past seven years, the building has been subject to minimal official scrutiny, with only one code enforcement violation recorded in 2024. However, there has been a noteworthy cluster of service requests related to watershed protection and waste management issues in recent years. Between 2025 and 2026, there were multiple incidents of illegal dumping in the vicinity, with six documented service requests for illegal dumping item pickups and watershed protection enforcement, including two specific enforcement cases in the Watershed Protection Division, one of which remains active as of April 2026. The most recent code investigation opened in May 2024, while not directly related to the watershed issues, indicates some level of regulatory attention to the property. Given the age of the building and these recent service requests, maintaining proper waste management practices and monitoring for environmental compliance appear to be current concerns for this property.

Risk rating

How 13238 N Bradley 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

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.
