/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 972 VERNON AVE

The short answers.

Is 972 Vernon Ave rent controlled?

Built 2021 — 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.

How many units does 972 Vernon Ave have?

County records list 1 unit at 972 Vernon Ave, classified as duplex across 2,402 square feet of building area, averaging about 2,402 square feet per unit. Unit counts on the roll can lag permitted conversions and unpermitted additions in both directions.

When was 972 Vernon Ave built?

The assessor roll gives a build year of 2021, 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.

When did 972 Vernon Ave last sell, and for how much?

The last recorded transfer was March 2021, at an estimated $2,394,999 — about $2,394,999 per unit. That price is estimated from the Proposition 13 reassessment recorded at sale, not a verified closing price, so treat it as a close approximation rather than a confirmed figure.

What is 972 Vernon Ave assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $2,592,424 ($1,623,648 land, $968,776 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.

How do I find out what 972 Vernon 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.
