Rent & eviction protection

Is 10201 N De Soto 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 1962
2 or more units

7100
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.

Just-cause eviction

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 residential property at 10201 N De Soto Ave in Chatsworth, built in 1962 and currently owned by Valley Bethel Presbyterian, has a notable record of building safety inspections and service requests over the past seven years. The building has undergone 16 safety inspections during this period, which suggests regular oversight of its structural and operational systems. A significant pattern has emerged in the most recent year, with seven illegal dumping item pickup requests recorded between October 2025 and March 2026, representing a period of approximately five months. The frequency of these illegal dumping incidents, while all responded to and closed by city services, indicates a recurring issue in the immediate vicinity of the property that may affect resident experience. Outside of these dumping incidents, the building's overall service request and inspection record appears to be relatively standard for a property of its age and size, though the concentration of recent waste management issues warrants attention as a notable trend in the building's recent history.

Risk rating

How 10201 N De Soto 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.
