Rent & eviction protection

Is 8857 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 1987

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 1987
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 11-unit residential building at 8857 North Willis Avenue in Panorama City, owned by 8857 Willis Avenue LLC, was constructed in 1987 and has experienced notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The property has submitted a total of 59 service requests through MyLA311 over the past seven years, with the most significant recent pattern being six instances of graffiti removal between May 2024 and September 2024, suggesting an ongoing challenge with vandalism in the vicinity. The building's historical code enforcement records show two proactive inspections in 2016 and 2019, though both cases were closed on the same day they were opened, indicating either no violations were found or immediate compliance was achieved. The most recent service requests in early 2025 include two closed cases for graffiti removal and bulky item disposal, continuing the trend of maintenance issues that appear to primarily relate to external property upkeep rather than internal living conditions. While the building's major structural and safety systems are not detailed in the available records, the frequency of recent graffiti removal requests suggests a recurring challenge with maintaining the building's exterior presentation.

Risk rating

How 8857 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
