PROP 13 ASSESSED VALUES, USUALLY WELL BELOW MARKET ON LONG-HELD BUILDINGS.
PRICE ESTIMATED FROM ASSESSOR REASSESSMENT AT SALE, NOT A VERIFIED CLOSING PRICE.
LIKELY COVERED BY LA RSO
Built 1927 in the City of Los Angeles with 4 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.

The short answers.
Is 2249 Duane St, No 5 rent controlled?
Built 1927 in the City of Los Angeles with 4 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 2249 Duane St, No 5 have?
County records list 4 units at 2249 Duane St, No 5, classified as fourplex across 4,696 square feet of building area, averaging about 1,174 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.
When was 2249 Duane St, No 5 built?
The assessor roll gives a build year of 1927, 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 2249 Duane St, No 5 last sell, and for how much?
The last recorded transfer was August 2023, at an estimated $2,265,000, about $566,250 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 2249 Duane St, No 5 assessed at, and is that what it is worth?
The current assessed value is $2,310,300 ($1,122,000 land, $1,188,300 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 2249 Duane St, No 5 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.
