/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 818 W 42ND ST

The short answers.

Is 818 W 42nd St rent controlled?

Outside LA RSO coverage on these records — most California multifamily over 15 years old falls under the AB 1482 statewide cap of 5% plus CPI, never more than 10% per year. 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.

When did 818 W 42nd St last change hands?

The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded October 2019. 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 818 W 42nd St assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $1,701,906 ($810,388 land, $891,518 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.

What is the South Los Angeles apartment market doing?

818 W 42nd St sits in South Los Angeles, in Los Angeles. Recorded sale counts, median price per unit, median price per square foot, and the share of rent-control-era stock for the submarket are published and updated as the county roll refreshes — see the South Los Angeles market page for the current figures rather than a number quoted here.

How do I find out what 818 W 42nd St would sell for today?

Public records give you the frame — units, size, age, assessed value, 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.
