Rent & eviction protection

Is 12165 N San Fernando Road 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

Zoning
LAC2
Likely not RSO-covered. Buildings first occupied after October 1, 1978 are generally exempt from the LA RSO — but the statewide Tenant Protection Act below may still apply.

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 1984
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 six-unit residential building at 12165 N San Fernando Road in Sylmar, owned by Balubhai G Patel Trust, has been part of Los Angeles County's property records since its construction in 1984. The building's documented history spans from 2013 to 2026, during which it has generated a total of 31 service requests through the MyLA311 system over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of activity occurred in early 2026, with multiple "Service Not Complete" requests in February, three of which were either cancelled or marked as not completed. A pattern of service-related issues is evident, with three "Service Not Complete" requests in July 2025 remaining a concern, though one was closed while another was cancelled. The property has also experienced some maintenance and community issues, as indicated by records of illegal dumping (December 2025) and graffiti (July 2025), both of which were addressed and closed. Two historical Building & Safety requests from 2013 were documented, including a miscellaneous complaint and an issue related to hotels/motels, though both were resolved within a few days of being reported.

Risk rating

How 12165 N San Fernando Road'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.
