Blight Battle Spurs Limited Rehab in Los Angeles Housing
The 3245 West 14th Street building in Los Angeles faced blight at year end 1952. A program of limited rehabilitation restored the structure with basic repairs and modernization in baths and kitchens. Rentals for furnished one bedroom units were kept between 42 and 60 dollars monthly to fit tenant means. The approach mirrors nationwide housing action and calls for expanded community and neighborhood efforts. Lumber magnate Fritz Burns urged the industry to address blight as a national business opportunity.
