PROP 13 ASSESSED VALUES, USUALLY WELL BELOW MARKET ON LONG-HELD BUILDINGS.
No market sale detected on this parcel since 2021. The last recorded transfer may have been a refinance, trust move, or family transfer that didn't reset the Prop 13 base.
RENT CONTROL STATUS NOT DETERMINED
These records carry no year built for this parcel, 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.

The short answers.
Is 240 S Avenue 18 rent controlled?
These records carry no year built for this parcel, 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 240 S Avenue 18 have?
County records list 3 units at 240 S Avenue 18, classified as triplex across 3,024 square feet of building area, averaging about 1,008 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.
When did 240 S Avenue 18 last change hands?
The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded January 2001. 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 240 S Avenue 18 assessed at, and is that what it is worth?
The current assessed value is $301,339 ($198,887 land, $102,452 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 25 years.
Would the owner of 240 S Avenue 18 face a big tax bill on a sale?
Possibly. A base year going back roughly 25 years usually means a low tax basis, and a low basis means a large taxable gain on a straight sale: capital gains plus depreciation recapture, with California taxing gains at ordinary income rates. It is also why long-held buildings so often sell through a 1031 exchange instead, or pass through an estate for the step-up in basis.
How do I find out what 240 S Avenue 18 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.
Leave an email and I'll come back with what it is worth and whether the owner is likely to trade. It does not have to be for sale, and it does not have to be my listing.
