The short answers.
Is 2780 San Marino St rent controlled?
Built 1987, inside the City of Los Angeles. Construction after 1 October 1978 is outside the RSO, so the statewide cap applies instead: 5% plus regional CPI, never more than 10% in a year. 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 2780 San Marino St have?
County records list 34 units at 2780 San Marino St, classified as 5+ units across 32,032 square feet of building area, averaging about 942 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.
When was 2780 San Marino St built?
The assessor roll gives a build year of 1987, 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 2780 San Marino St last change hands?
The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded January 2004. 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.
Would the owner of 2780 San Marino St face a big tax bill on a sale?
Possibly. A base year going back roughly 34 years usually means a long hold and 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. The base year is not proof of when the current owner bought, though: a building inherited from a parent before Proposition 19 took effect in February 2021 could keep the old base year while its tax basis was stepped up at death. Long-held buildings also often sell through a 1031 exchange, or pass through an estate for the step-up in basis.
What is the Koreatown apartment market doing?
2780 San Marino St sits in Koreatown, in Los Angeles. Sale counts, median price per unit and median price per square foot for the submarket are estimated from county assessor reassessments at sale, not verified closing prices, and are published with the share of rent-control-era stock on the Koreatown market page. See that page for the figures rather than a number quoted here.
How do I find out what 2780 San Marino St 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.
