/// RENT CONTROL

LIKELY COVERED BY LA RSO

Built 1961 in the City of Los Angeles with 20 units. Multifamily inside city limits whose certificate of occupancy was issued on or before 1 October 1978 is generally under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance, which caps annual increases and restricts evictions to specific just causes. The roll carries a year built rather than that certificate date, so a building finished in late 1978 can fall either side of the line. Confirm the address with LAHD.

/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 1920 HILLCREST RD

The short answers.

Is 1920 Hillcrest Rd rent controlled?

Built 1961 in the City of Los Angeles with 20 units. Multifamily inside city limits whose certificate of occupancy was issued on or before 1 October 1978 is generally under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance, which caps annual increases and restricts evictions to specific just causes. The roll carries a year built rather than that certificate date, so a building finished in late 1978 can fall either side of the line. Confirm the address with LAHD. 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 1920 Hillcrest Rd have?

County records list 20 units at 1920 Hillcrest Rd, classified as 5+ units across 15,378 square feet of building area, averaging about 769 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When was 1920 Hillcrest Rd built?

The assessor roll gives a build year of 1961, which puts it in the stock old enough for the LA Rent Stabilization Ordinance to reach it, where the building sits inside City of Los Angeles limits. Age drives more than character here. It sets rent-cap exposure, seismic retrofit obligations, and what a lender will underwrite.

When did 1920 Hillcrest Rd last change hands?

The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded December 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 1920 Hillcrest Rd assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $6,399,848 ($4,807,399 land, $1,592,449 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 1920 Hillcrest Rd 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.
