Site prep is underway at 6046 W. Comey Ave. in Mid‑City for a planned five‑story, 61‑unit affordable apartment building reserved for low and moderate-income households. The project is set to bring a mix of studio, one, and three-bedroom units and, according to filings, will move ahead without any on‑site parking.
As reported by Urbanize LA, the development was filed by property owner Yu Kon Kim through 6046 W Comey Ave, LLC, and is designed by Commun Associates. The project qualified for density bonus incentives and was made eligible for the city's Executive Directive 1 fast track for affordable housing, a combo that typically gives income-restricted projects a smoother path through City Hall.
Permits and planning status
The L.A. Department of Building and Safety's parcel profile for the address shows multiple permits tied to 6046 W. Comey Ave., reflecting early site prep activity, according to Department of Building and Safety records. Public planning documents link the project to case ADM‑2024‑2894 in the City Clerk's listings, confirming the entitlement path the developer used.
How the project fits in Mid‑City
The Comey Avenue site is one of several recent affordable housing proposals in Mid‑City that have tapped ED‑1 streamlining, signaling a modest but growing pipeline of income-restricted units in the neighborhood, according to Urbanize LA. The outlet also points to a nearby proposal for roughly 162 affordable units on church-owned land off Robertson Boulevard as another recent example moving through the system.
Public permit records show plan check and site prep entries for 6046 W. Comey Ave., but do not yet list a final vertical construction certificate for the building, suggesting the project is still working its way through the city's permitting process, per LADBS permit data. We will be watching for filed construction permits and posted timelines as the development advances through review.
