/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 1901 BLAKE AVE

The short answers.

Is 1901 Blake Ave rent controlled?

Built 2022, inside the City of Los Angeles. Buildings under 15 years old are exempt from AB 1482, and construction after 1 October 1978 is outside the RSO. The state cap applies once the building turns 15. 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 1901 Blake Ave have?

County records list 52 units at 1901 Blake Ave, classified as 5+ units across 52,179 square feet of building area, averaging about 1,003 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When was 1901 Blake Ave built?

The assessor roll gives a build year of 2022, 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 1901 Blake Ave last change hands?

The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded August 2014. Not every recorded transfer is a market sale: refinances, trust transfers, and family conveyances all appear in the same field, and those do not reset the assessed value.

What is 1901 Blake Ave assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $19,842,286 ($1,598,456 land, $18,243,830 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, and this one has held its base year for roughly 11 years.

How do I find out what 1901 Blake 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.
