Rent & eviction protection

Is 21031 W Chatsworth 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

200
Zoning
LARA
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 two-unit building at 21031 W Chatsworth Street in Chatsworth, owned by Jennifer L Brown, has a documented history dating back to its 1924 construction. The property has experienced two notable code enforcement investigations during its history, with the most recent occurring between July 2020 and November 2021, and a prior investigation from late 2011 to early 2013. A concerning incident was recorded in July 2020 regarding unauthorized construction work, though this matter was resolved within a week. The building's recent service request history shows a pattern of addressing metal/household appliance disposal and bulky item removal, with four pairs of requests (two for each type) processed through MyLA311 between February 2022 and October 2024, all of which were promptly closed within one to eight days of creation. While the frequency of waste disposal requests is notable, particularly as there have been three such pairs (household appliances and bulky items) in 2024 alone, these requests generally reflect routine maintenance rather than safety concerns. The property has no documented history of fire incidents, structural issues, or serious safety violations, and all recorded service requests have been resolved, with the most recent ones showing timely responses to waste disposal needs.

Risk rating

How 21031 W Chatsworth 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

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.
