Rent & eviction protection

Is 13637 W Pinney 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 1924
2 or more units
2 units
Use code
200
Zoning
LAR1
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 1924
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 two-unit residential property at 13637 W Pinney St in Pacoima, built in 1924 and currently owned by Rosa Vargas Trust, presents a mixed record of maintenance and community issues. The building has generated a significant volume of service requests, totaling 105 in the past seven years, with a notable cluster of graffiti incidents in early 2026, including four separate reports within March-May 2026, indicating a persistent neighborhood issue. Two tree-related incidents were addressed in March 2026, including one emergency situation and a subsequent obstruction issue. The property's historical code enforcement record shows three proactive cases in January 2015 and one in September 2015, while a past building and safety complaint regarding trash or debris on private property was recorded and resolved between March and June 2012. The property's age and history suggest typical maintenance challenges, though the recent concentration of graffiti incidents in 2026 is particularly noteworthy.

Risk rating

How 13637 W Pinney 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
25thpercentile

Out of 343 buildings in this neighborhood, 257 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
