/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 511 S 1ST AVE

The short answers.

Is 511 S 1st Ave 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 was 511 S 1st Ave built?

The assessor roll gives a build year of 1946, 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.

What is 511 S 1st Ave assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $38,169 ($20,559 land, $17,610 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 51 years.

Would the owner of 511 S 1st Ave face a big tax bill on a sale?

Possibly. A base year going back roughly 51 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 511 S 1st 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.
