PROP 13 ASSESSED VALUES, USUALLY WELL BELOW MARKET ON LONG-HELD BUILDINGS.
No market sale detected on this parcel since 2021. The last recorded transfer may have been a refinance, trust move, or family transfer that didn't reset the Prop 13 base.
OUTSIDE LA RSO (FEWER THAN TWO UNITS)
The roll records 1 unit here. The Rent Stabilization Ordinance reaches buildings of two or more units, so it does not apply. Whether the statewide cap applies to a single-family home turns on who owns it and whether the required notice was given.

The short answers.
Is 620 E Colorado Blvd rent controlled?
The roll records 1 unit here. The Rent Stabilization Ordinance reaches buildings of two or more units, so it does not apply. Whether the statewide cap applies to a single-family home turns on who owns it and whether the required notice was given. 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 620 E Colorado Blvd have?
County records list 1 unit at 620 E Colorado Blvd, classified as duplex across 2,638 square feet of building area, averaging about 2,638 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.
When was 620 E Colorado Blvd built?
The assessor roll gives a build year of 2011, 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 620 E Colorado Blvd last change hands?
The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded January 2016. 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 620 E Colorado Blvd assessed at, and is that what it is worth?
The current assessed value is $700,453 ($345,113 land, $355,340 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 17 years.
Would the owner of 620 E Colorado Blvd face a big tax bill on a sale?
Possibly. A base year going back roughly 17 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 620 E Colorado Blvd 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.
