OUTSIDE THE CITY OF LA ORDINANCE

The roll places this parcel in Bell Gardens, not the City of Los Angeles, so the city's Rent Stabilization Ordinance does not reach it. That is not the same as unregulated: Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Inglewood, Pasadena, Glendale and others run their own stabilisation ordinances, unincorporated county parcels fall under the County's, and the statewide AB 1482 cap applies where no stronger local rule does. Check the local ordinance before underwriting the rent roll.

/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 5835 CLARA ST

The short answers.

Is 5835 Clara St rent controlled?

The roll places this parcel in Bell Gardens, not the City of Los Angeles, so the city's Rent Stabilization Ordinance does not reach it. That is not the same as unregulated: Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Inglewood, Pasadena, Glendale and others run their own stabilisation ordinances, unincorporated county parcels fall under the County's, and the statewide AB 1482 cap applies where no stronger local rule does. Check the local ordinance 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 5835 Clara St have?

County records list 4 units at 5835 Clara St, classified as fourplex across 3,226 square feet of building area, averaging about 807 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When was 5835 Clara St built?

The assessor roll gives a build year of 1937, 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 5835 Clara St last sell, and for how much?

The last recorded transfer was September 2021, at an estimated $814,444, about $203,611 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 5835 Clara St assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $864,295 ($558,174 land, $306,121 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 5835 Clara 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.
