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.
Built 2013 — buildings under 15 years old are exempt from AB 1482; the state cap applies once the building turns 15.

Built 2013 — buildings under 15 years old are exempt from AB 1482; the state cap applies once the building turns 15. 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.
County records list 2 units at 1639 W 39th Pl, classified as duplex across 6 square feet of building area, averaging about 3 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.
The assessor roll gives a build year of 2013, which is after the October 1978 RSO cutoff. Age drives more than character here: it sets rent-cap exposure, seismic retrofit obligations, and what a lender will underwrite.
The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded February 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.
The current assessed value is $689,586 ($406,364 land, $283,222 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 13 years.

PRICES ESTIMATED FROM ASSESSOR REASSESSMENT AT SALE (ASSESSED VALUE DEFLATED 2%/YR) — NOT VERIFIED CLOSING PRICES.
1639 W 39th Pl 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.
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.
