/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 5258 DENNY AVE

The short answers.

Is 5258 Denny Ave rent controlled?

These records carry no unit count and 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.

When did 5258 Denny Ave last change hands?

The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded January 2010. 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 5258 Denny Ave assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $1,439,159 ($413,057 land, $1,026,102 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 16 years.

Would the owner of 5258 Denny Ave face a big tax bill on a sale?

Possibly. A base year going back roughly 16 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 North Hollywood apartment market doing?

5258 Denny Ave sits in North Hollywood, 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 North Hollywood market page. See that page for the figures rather than a number quoted here.

How do I find out what 5258 Denny 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.
