Rent & eviction protection

Is 18878 W Dylan 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 1966
2 or more units
5 units

100
Zoning
LARS
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 1966
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 two-story multifamily residential building at 18878 W Dylan Street in Porter Ranch is a five-unit property constructed in 1966, currently owned by Steven Gruber and Angela Ter Zakarian. Over the past seven years, the building has recorded 17 service requests through the MyLA311 system, though none of these requests appear to be related to structural or safety concerns. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of item pickup requests in recent months, with six such requests recorded between March and May 2026, suggesting frequent disposal needs or possibly unit turnovers. Prior to this recent cluster of service requests, the last item pickup occurred in August 2025, showing a continuation of this particular need. The building has undergone only one building safety inspection in the past seven years, though the records do not indicate any findings or concerns from this inspection. The frequency of item pickup requests in recent months stands out as the most significant trend in the building's service record, while the relatively low number of building inspections and diverse service requests over the seven-year period suggest routine maintenance and operation of the property.

Risk rating

How 18878 W Dylan 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

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.
