The Los Angeles City Council approved a temporary stop to demolition permits on low-income housing in Boyle Heights, hoping to slow gentrification in the area.
The Los Angeles City Council Tuesday unanimously approved a measure to protect residents of Boyle Heights from displacement and gentrification.
The ICO is intended to provide "immediate'' protection for Boyle Heights residents until a community plan is finalized over the next few months, according to Councilman Kevin de León's office, which encompasses the 14th District, including Boyle Heights. The Boyle Heights ICO prohibits the issuance of demolition permits for two specific types of housing units within the Boyle Heights Community Plan area: structures subject to LA's Rent Stabilization Ordinance, and structures containing multi-family dwelling units designated by covenant for lower-income households.
