Rent & eviction protection

Is 17550 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 1956
2 or more units
3 units
Use code
2600
Zoning
LAC1
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1956
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 three-unit residential building at 17550 W Chatsworth St in Granada Hills, constructed in 1956 and currently owned by Alan R. and Lynn M. Cole Trustees, has maintained a relatively stable record over the past seven years, with regular building safety inspections and service requests. The property has undergone eight building safety inspections during this period, and there have been 16 service requests logged through the MyLA311 system. Of particular note, there has been a persistent issue with graffiti in the immediate vicinity, with six graffiti removal requests filed between January and December 2025, all of which have been resolved promptly. The building's history also shows one notable code enforcement case opened in June 2003 related to the Vehicle Establishment Inspection Program in the North Valley area, though it's unclear if this directly impacted the property itself. While the frequency of graffiti incidents in 2025 suggests a pattern of vandalism in the area, it appears to be primarily an external issue affecting the neighborhood rather than the building itself, and all reported incidents have been promptly addressed through proper channels. The property's documented history shows no major safety concerns or building code violations in recent years, with regular maintenance being evidenced through the building safety inspections and service request responses.

Risk rating

How 17550 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.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

LA County rarely opens code cases here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. LA County has opened cases here before and is statistically likely to again.
