Rent & eviction protection

Is 17412 W Ludlow 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 1953
2 or more units
2 units

200
Zoning
LARE9
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 property at 17412 W Ludlow St in Granada Hills is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1953, currently owned by Hector and Maria Palacios. Over the past seven years, the building has undergone notable improvements, particularly in 2024 with the installation of a new swimming pool and spa measuring 34.5 feet by 15 feet with a depth of 6 feet. The initial permit was issued in March 2024, followed by a subsequent revision in August 2024 to update the pool and spa dimensions and fence location, which has since been finalized. The building's maintenance and service request history shows relatively consistent activity, with a total of 48 service requests recorded through the MyLA311 system in the past seven years. Most of these requests (seven in total) between July 2025 and April 2026 were related to item pickups, suggesting regular waste management or debris removal needs. While the volume of service requests might indicate some maintenance activity, it's worth noting that the majority of these requests were routine in nature and there are no recorded service requests during 2023 or 2024. The property has required only two building permits in the past seven years, with a total valuation of approximately $35,501, primarily related to the recent pool installation.

Risk rating

How 17412 W Ludlow 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.
