LIKELY UNDER AB 1482 STATE CAP

Built 1996, inside the City of Los Angeles. Construction after 1 October 1978 is outside the RSO, so the statewide cap applies instead: 5% plus regional CPI, never more than 10% in a year.

/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 1540 N BRONSON AVE

The short answers.

Is 1540 N Bronson Ave rent controlled?

Built 1996, inside the City of Los Angeles. Construction after 1 October 1978 is outside the RSO, so the statewide cap applies instead: 5% plus regional CPI, never more than 10% in a year. 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 1540 N Bronson Ave have?

County records list 15 units at 1540 N Bronson Ave, classified as 5+ units across 13,409 square feet of building area, averaging about 894 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When was 1540 N Bronson Ave built?

The assessor roll gives a build year of 1996, 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 1540 N Bronson Ave last sell, and for how much?

The last recorded transfer was July 2022, at an estimated $6,533,000, about $435,533 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 1540 N Bronson Ave assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $6,796,933 ($3,121,200 land, $3,675,733 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.

What is the Hollywood apartment market doing?

1540 N Bronson Ave sits in Hollywood, in Los Angeles. Recorded sale counts, median price per unit, median price per square foot, and the share of rent-control-era stock for the submarket are published and updated as the county roll refreshes. See the Hollywood market page for the current figures rather than a number quoted here.

How do I find out what 1540 N Bronson Ave 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.
