/// RENT CONTROL

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 · 5960 GAGE AVE

The short answers.

Is 5960 Gage Ave 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 5960 Gage Ave have?

County records list 4 units at 5960 Gage Ave, classified as fourplex across 7,701 square feet of building area, averaging about 1,925 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When was 5960 Gage Ave built?

The assessor roll gives a build year of 2009, 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 5960 Gage Ave last change hands?

The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded May 2021. 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 5960 Gage Ave assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $1,592,957 ($716,162 land, $876,795 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 5960 Gage 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.
