Questions people ask about LA condo age
How many LA County condos are more than 30 years old? On the Los Angeles County Assessor roll, 3,004 of the 3,963 condominium projects with 20 or more units were built before 1996. They hold 154,808 units, 75% of the 205,693 total. 38% of units (78,095) are in projects built before 1980.
Which LA County city has the oldest condos? Among cities with at least 1,000 units in these projects, Culver City has the highest share built before 1996 (95% of 3,669 units), followed by Santa Monica (95%), Rancho Palos Verdes (93%), West Hollywood (92%).
Do older LA condos need a balcony inspection? California Civil Code section 5551 (SB 326) requires condominium associations to have exterior elevated elements, such as balconies, decks, stairways and walkways supported by wood, inspected at least once every nine years. The duty depends on how a building is built, not only its age, so ask the association for its most recent inspection report.
Does this report say which buildings are unsafe or face assessments? No. A year built and a unit count say nothing about a building's condition, framing, inspection results, reserves or charges. Use it to see where older condominium stock is concentrated, then ask the association for its reserve study and inspection reports.
Method and sources
Counts cover every condominium project with 20 or more units in our register, built by grouping the Los Angeles County Assessor's condominium parcels by recorded tract or parcel map. A project's year is the year built on the roll; where its parcels differ, the most common year is used. Older means built before 1996. Cities follow the roll's situs city. The roll does not describe balconies, framing or inspections, so these figures are not a count of SB 326 inspections due. 6 projects with no year built on the roll are left out.
