Rent & eviction protection

Is 65231/2 S Vista Del Mar 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1964
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 property at 65231/2 S Vista Del Mar in Playa del Rey is a two-unit residential building owned by William V Ballough, constructed in 1964. Over the past seven years, the building has undergone an unusually high number of building safety inspections for its size and age, with a total of 30 inspections recorded, which suggests either regular oversight by the owner or potentially ongoing safety monitoring requirements. The building's service request history shows relatively few maintenance needs, with only two requests in the past seven years, both related to item pickups for bulky items in 2020 and 2017, and most recently in early 2026. These service requests, which were all completed promptly within one to five days, represent routine waste management rather than building-specific issues. The limited nature of these service requests, combined with the extensive inspection record, presents a mixed picture of the building's oversight - with many inspections recorded but very few service requests, one might infer that while the building is subject to regular safety checks, it has experienced minimal maintenance issues requiring resident intervention during this period.

Risk rating

How 65231/2 S Vista Del Mar'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.
