Rent & eviction protection

Is 8816 S Sepulveda Blvd 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 1944
2 or more units
8 units

2300
Zoning
LAC2
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 1944
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 8-unit residential building at 8816 S Sepulveda Blvd in Westchester, owned by Platinum Lax Properties LLC, has been in operation since 1944. Over the past seven years, the property has undergone several notable changes, with the most recent being the installation of new illuminated wall signs in early 2026 (valued at $11,000), including two illuminated channel letters and one non-illuminated wall sign. The building has maintained a consistent record of safety oversight, with a substantial 123 building safety inspections conducted during this period. Recent service requests (from 2025-2026) have primarily addressed external concerns such as street pavement issues, graffiti removal, and a reported homeless encampment, though these did not directly relate to the building's condition or management. The property has also experienced multiple code enforcement cases, with most being resolved the same day they were opened in 2013, and one billboard/sign inspection case dating back to 2009. While the building has a relatively low number of service requests (18 in seven years), the timing and nature of recent service requests primarily focus on exterior and neighborhood issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 8816 S Sepulveda Blvd'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.

What the score means for you

Grade C — Moderate risk
