Rent & eviction protection

Is 8129 W Foothill 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 1944
2 or more units
2 units

1210
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
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 two-unit residential building at 8129 W Foothill Blvd in Sunland, owned by Tanita Tr Meza, has experienced relatively minimal documented issues over recent years. Built in 1944, this duplex has generated 37 service requests through the MyLA311 system over the past seven years, with the most notable cluster of incidents occurring in late 2025 through early 2026. During this period, there were three consecutive illegal dumping item pickup requests between December 29, 2025, and February 10, 2026, suggesting a temporary issue with improper waste disposal in the vicinity. The building has also required one instance of graffiti removal in February 2025, though this appears to be an isolated incident. Two information-only requests were made in December 2025 and July 2025, but their content and relevance to resident well-being are unclear from the available data. Overall, while the frequency of service requests is relatively low considering the age of the building, the recent cluster of illegal dumping incidents may warrant attention to the building's immediate surroundings and waste management practices in the area.

Risk rating

How 8129 W Foothill 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.
