/// RENT CONTROL

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.

/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 4134 E 1ST ST

The short answers.

Is 4134 E 1st St 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 4134 E 1st St have?

County records list 2 units at 4134 E 1st St, classified as duplex across 1,252 square feet of building area, averaging about 626 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When did 4134 E 1st St last change hands?

The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded January 2008. 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 4134 E 1st St assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $601,577 ($421,634 land, $179,943 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 18 years.

Would the owner of 4134 E 1st St face a big tax bill on a sale?

Possibly. A base year going back roughly 18 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 4134 E 1st 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.
