Rent & eviction protection

Is 9156 N Tobias 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

Zoning
LARD1.5
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 1988
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 15-unit, 1988-built residential building at 9156 N Tobias Ave in Panorama City, currently owned by 9156 Tobias LLC, has shown notable activity over the past seven years, particularly in 2025-2026. Most significantly, there are ongoing balcony and deck repairs scheduled for units 202, 204, 206, and 210, with a permit issued in April 2026. Between December 2025 and March 2026, there were multiple instances of illegal dumping requiring municipal intervention, with six service requests filed and subsequently resolved. The building's historical maintenance record shows a relatively low number of building permits (just one, with a valuation of $9,500), and despite the property's challenges with illegal dumping, there have only been three instances of pro-active code enforcement cases in 2019 and three in 2013, all of which were promptly resolved on the same day they were opened. The building's overall service request volume of 93 over seven years, while noteworthy, represents an average of approximately 13 annual requests, though the nature and severity of these requests can vary significantly.

Risk rating

How 9156 N Tobias 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.

Neighborhood percentile
83rdpercentile

Out of 557 buildings in this neighborhood, 95 are predicted to be safer.
