Rent & eviction protection

Is 13937 W Astoria 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 1953
2 or more units

200
Zoning
LAC2
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.

Just-cause eviction

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 two-unit residential building at 13937 W Astoria St in Sylmar, built in 1953, is currently owned by 13969 Foothill LLC. The property has generated a moderate volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of 37 recorded incidents through the MyLA311 system. The most recent activity, as of 2026, involves a streetlight repair request created in March 2026, though it is too early to determine the resolution status. The building has experienced recurring issues with graffiti in early 2025, with three separate incidents requiring removal services on March 2nd of that year, all of which were promptly addressed on the same day. Additional maintenance and safety concerns in the surrounding area have been documented, including a streetlight repair request, an illegal dumping incident (resolved within one week), and a homeless encampment report, all occurring between March and August 2025. While these service requests primarily relate to exterior and neighborhood conditions rather than the building itself, their frequency and nature suggest ongoing urban maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 13937 W Astoria 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

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.
