Illegal apartments on their way to becoming legalized.
Because of the acute housing shortage, L.A. cty is trying to be more lenient about illegal units. So if you have one, be patient. The inspectors are going to have to eat their words as the higher ups get involved.
This might make it more attractive to buy a place that has a bootlegged unit on it. Maybe the seller does not know about this process.
Between 2010 and 2015, inspectors have eliminated 1700 units because they were not legal. This is nuts with our housing shortage. Someone finally came to their senses.
