Rent & eviction protection

Is 6511 S Ocean Front Walk 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 1964
2 or more units
2 units

200
Zoning
LAR3
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 two-unit residential building at 6511 S Ocean Front Walk in Playa del Rey, owned by Laura A Karpman Trust, has a documented history showing consistent attention from building and safety authorities over several years. Built in 1964, this property has undergone 40 building safety inspections in the past seven years, a notably high frequency that suggests either regular monitoring or recurring concerns. The most significant pattern of violations occurred in late 2018 through early 2019, during which period there were four separate complaints regarding construction activities being conducted without proper permits or inspections - three of which were classified as "Construction Done Without Permits" and one as "Construction In Progress Without Permits." The building's recent service history includes two MyLA311 service requests in 2025: one for item pickups (closed promptly within a day) and another report of a homeless encampment (still reported as of May 26, 2025). While the building's permit violation issues appear to have been resolved as no similar complaints have been recorded in the past four years, the property continues to receive regular attention from city services, with the most recent activity being unrelated to building safety.

Risk rating

How 6511 S Ocean Front Walk'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.
