Rent & eviction protection

Is 17830 W Merridy 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.

Zoning
LAR3
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 1985
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 43-unit residential building at 17830 W Merridy St in Northridge, constructed in 1985 and currently owned by 17830 Merridy LLC, has shown some concerning patterns in its recent service request history. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 76 service requests logged through MyLA311, with the most frequent issues being reported in 2025. Specifically, during late 2025, there were multiple instances of illegal dumping that required municipal intervention, with at least four documented cases between October and November of that year. Prior to this spike in service requests, there was one information-only request in February 2026, and going back beyond the seven-year mark, the building's permit and inspection history shows minimal activity, with only one building permit and one building safety inspection recorded in the same seven-year period. While the building's reported service request volume is notable, particularly in relation to the number of units, it's worth noting that many of these requests in 2025 were resolved relatively quickly, typically within a day or two.

Risk rating

How 17830 W Merridy 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.

Neighborhood percentile
