How to Use the LA Comparison Tool

Comparing buildings side by side helps you make better rental decisions. Here's what to look for:

  • Overall Score: Higher is better (out of 100)
  • Open Violations: Current unresolved issues - lower is better
  • Total Violations: Historical violation count - shows long-term maintenance
  • Year Built: Pre-1978 buildings may be rent controlled under LA RSO
  • Rent Controlled (RSO): LA Rent Stabilization Ordinance offers tenant protections

LA-Specific Considerations

  • Seismic Safety: Pre-1978 buildings may need soft-story retrofit
  • Metro Access: Check proximity to Metro Rail stations for commuting
  • RSO Eligibility: Buildings with 2+ units built before Oct 1978 are typically covered
