Rent & eviction protection

Is 9045 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
Built 1950
2 or more units
18 units

500
Zoning
LAR3
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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 18-unit residential building at 9045 N Tobias Ave in Panorama City, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Beta Lp, has experienced notable activity in both code enforcement and municipal service requests over the past seven years. Most recently, in June 2023, three pro-active code enforcement cases were opened and closed on the same day in the North Valley area, marking the only code enforcement cases on record during this period. The building's 311 service request history shows consistent activity, with a total of 272 documented requests over seven years. Of particular note, between March and June 2026 alone, there were multiple instances of reported dead animal removals, illegal dumping item pickups, and obstructions, suggesting ongoing maintenance and sanitation challenges in the immediate vicinity of the property. While these service requests have been addressed and marked as closed, the frequency and nature of these issues might be of interest to prospective tenants evaluating the building's surrounding environment.

Risk rating

How 9045 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
