Rent & eviction protection

Is 8916 N Willis 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 1970
2 or more units
64 units

500
Zoning
LARD1.5
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
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 North Hills Willis Apartments, a 64-unit residential building constructed in 1970 in Panorama City, has undergone several notable events over the past several years, with the most concerning being a cluster of service requests in 2026, including multiple illegal dumping incidents and item pickups between February and June. The building's recent history also shows a consistent pattern of proactive code enforcement inspections, with three such cases in 2016, 2019, and most recently in July 2023, though all were resolved on the same day they were opened. In 2012, the property experienced a series of code enforcement actions, including a general investigation followed by citations for transient violations. The building's permit history is relatively minimal, with only three permits issued in the past seven years, though records indicate some construction was conducted without proper permits or inspections in early 2012, which generated a priority 2 building and safety request. The property has maintained a high level of communication with city services, as evidenced by 173 service requests over the past seven years, though most have been routine in nature. The building's management appears responsive to issues as they arise, with all recorded service requests and enforcement actions being promptly addressed and closed.

Risk rating

How 8916 N Willis 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
