HOLLYWOOD BUNGALOW COURT EMERGENCY - Please send an email NOW, or make public comment on ZOOM on Thursday, 9/25/25 at 10am, to help halt a scheme to turn the 4061 West Melrose Ave. bungalow court into single family tiny homes, which would displace all the tenants. All the links are below.
Why we’re worried: An attempt to use this loophole in the Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance is especially concerning with architecturally distinguished, Instagrammable buildings like these bungalow courts and period revival apartment houses in desirable neighborhoods. If apartments are converted to non-RSO units that are owned by individuals or corporations, they will certainly be used for their most profitable purpose: as nightly rentals on Airbnb and other home share apps. Entire buildings could be purchased by investors with the intent of turning them into boutique hotels. Speak out to help stop it!
