/// RENT CONTROL

OUTSIDE LA RSO BY AGE

Built 1998, at an address whose mailing city is Los Angeles. Construction after 1 October 1978 is outside the City of Los Angeles RSO either way. If the parcel is inside the city, the statewide AB 1482 cap applies (5% plus regional CPI, never more than 10% a year, with a rolling 15-year exemption for new construction). The "Los Angeles" mailing city also covers some unincorporated county neighbourhoods, whose own ordinance can apply instead, so confirm the jurisdiction with LAHD or ZIMAS.

/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 1155 E 81ST ST

The short answers.

Is 1155 E 81st St rent controlled?

Built 1998, at an address whose mailing city is Los Angeles. Construction after 1 October 1978 is outside the City of Los Angeles RSO either way. If the parcel is inside the city, the statewide AB 1482 cap applies (5% plus regional CPI, never more than 10% a year, with a rolling 15-year exemption for new construction). The "Los Angeles" mailing city also covers some unincorporated county neighbourhoods, whose own ordinance can apply instead, so confirm the jurisdiction with LAHD or ZIMAS. This is an inference from public assessor records, not a determination. Confirm the certificate of occupancy date with the LA Housing Department or ZIMAS before you rely on it for pricing or notices.

How many units does 1155 E 81st St have?

County records list 2 units at 1155 E 81st St, classified as duplex across 2,746 square feet of building area, averaging about 1,373 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When was 1155 E 81st St built?

The assessor roll gives a build year of 1998, which is after the 1 October 1978 RSO cutoff. The ordinance turns on the certificate of occupancy rather than the roll's build year, so a building finished either side of that date is worth confirming with LAHD. Age drives more than character here. It sets rent-cap exposure, seismic retrofit obligations, and what a lender will underwrite.

When did 1155 E 81st St last sell, and for how much?

The last recorded transfer was September 2021, at an estimated $729,999, about $365,000 per unit. That price is estimated from the Proposition 13 reassessment recorded at sale, not a verified closing price, so treat it as a close approximation rather than a confirmed figure.

What is 1155 E 81st St assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $774,681 ($477,543 land, $297,138 improvements). Assessed value is not market value. Under Proposition 13 it resets only on a change of ownership and then climbs about 2% a year, so a long-held building is often assessed far below what it would trade for.

How do I find out what 1155 E 81st St would sell for today?

Public records give you the frame, units, size, age, assessed value, and when it last traded, but pricing needs in-place rents, expenses, and the condition of the units, none of which appear in county data. A broker valuation puts closed comps and a rent survey against the actual rent roll. Shaya Lowenstein does that free for LA multifamily owners, typically within 48 hours, with no obligation to list.
