RENT CONTROL STATUS NOT DETERMINED

The roll's city name for this parcel does not match a jurisdiction we recognise, and coverage turns on exactly those facts: the Rent Stabilization Ordinance reaches City of Los Angeles buildings of two or more units with a certificate of occupancy issued on or before 1 October 1978. Rather than guess, confirm the address with LAHD.

/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 1557 S MCBRIDE AVE

The short answers.

Is 1557 S Mcbride Ave rent controlled?

The roll's city name for this parcel does not match a jurisdiction we recognise, and coverage turns on exactly those facts: the Rent Stabilization Ordinance reaches City of Los Angeles buildings of two or more units with a certificate of occupancy issued on or before 1 October 1978. Rather than guess, confirm the address with LAHD. Confirm the address with the LA Housing Department or in ZIMAS before you rely on any assumption for pricing or notices.

How many units does 1557 S Mcbride Ave have?

County records list 2 units at 1557 S Mcbride Ave, classified as duplex across 2,389 square feet of building area, averaging about 1,195 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When was 1557 S Mcbride 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 1557 S Mcbride Ave last sell, and for how much?

The last recorded transfer was February 2021, at an estimated $680,623, about $340,311 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 1557 S Mcbride Ave assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $736,728 ($441,830 land, $294,898 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 1557 S Mcbride 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.
