PROP 13 ASSESSED VALUES, USUALLY WELL BELOW MARKET ON LONG-HELD BUILDINGS.
PRICE ESTIMATED FROM ASSESSOR REASSESSMENT AT SALE, NOT A VERIFIED CLOSING PRICE.
OUTSIDE THE CITY OF LA ORDINANCE
The zoning record places this parcel in unincorporated Los Angeles County, not the City of Los Angeles, even though its mailing city reads "Los Angeles". The city's Rent Stabilization Ordinance does not reach it. Unincorporated county rentals fall under the County's own rent stabilization ordinance, which has its own coverage dates and rules, and the statewide AB 1482 cap applies where no stronger local rule does. Confirm the address with the County's Department of Consumer and Business Affairs before underwriting the rent roll.

The short answers.
Is 400 Margaret Ave rent controlled?
The zoning record places this parcel in unincorporated Los Angeles County, not the City of Los Angeles, even though its mailing city reads "Los Angeles". The city's Rent Stabilization Ordinance does not reach it. Unincorporated county rentals fall under the County's own rent stabilization ordinance, which has its own coverage dates and rules, and the statewide AB 1482 cap applies where no stronger local rule does. Confirm the address with the County's Department of Consumer and Business Affairs before underwriting the rent roll. 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 400 Margaret Ave have?
County records list 4 units at 400 Margaret Ave, classified as fourplex across 2,240 square feet of building area, averaging about 560 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.
When was 400 Margaret Ave built?
The assessor roll gives a build year of 1953, 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 400 Margaret Ave last sell, and for how much?
The last recorded transfer was June 2022, at an estimated $856,420, about $214,105 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 400 Margaret Ave assessed at, and is that what it is worth?
The current assessed value is $908,840 ($502,713 land, $406,127 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 400 Margaret 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.
