/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 940 MAGNOLIA AVE

The short answers.

Is 940 Magnolia Ave rent controlled?

Built 1962 in the City of Los Angeles with 23 units — pre-October 1978 multifamily inside city limits is generally under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance, capping annual increases and restricting evictions. 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 940 Magnolia Ave have?

County records list 23 units at 940 Magnolia Ave, classified as 5+ units across 19,998 square feet of building area, averaging about 869 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When was 940 Magnolia Ave built?

The assessor roll gives a build year of 1962, which puts it in the pre-1979 stock that the LA Rent Stabilization Ordinance generally covers inside city limits. Age drives more than character here: it sets rent-cap exposure, seismic retrofit obligations, and what a lender will underwrite.

When did 940 Magnolia Ave last change hands?

The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded June 2012. 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 940 Magnolia Ave assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $3,328,542 ($1,632,870 land, $1,695,672 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 14 years.

What is the Koreatown apartment market doing?

940 Magnolia Ave sits in Koreatown, 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 Koreatown market page for the current figures rather than a number quoted here.

How do I find out what 940 Magnolia Ave 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.
