A seven-story, 100% income-restricted apartment building with 83 units is on deck for 4061 S. Main Street in Historic South-Central, potentially trading a small century-old walk-up for a much larger affordable complex.
Plans call for a mix of studio and one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, along with resident amenity space and long-term bicycle storage. If the project moves ahead, it would replace the two-story, four-unit building that currently occupies the lot.
The official filing
According to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning, the application (EAR-2026-1960-AH-PHP-HCA) was filed April 20, 2026, and describes a new seven-story, 83-unit, 100% affordable apartment building. The record lists Raymond Saviss of Sasi Main, LLC as the applicant and Kamran Ravandi of SG Design Inc. as the project representative. The filing requests incentives under Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 12.22 A.39 for one-hundred-percent affordable developments.
What the plans show
Plans reviewed by LA YIMBY indicate that the lower floors would house parking, a ground-floor lobby, a gym and elevator access, with residential levels stacked above and long-term bicycle storage located on the second floor. Floor plans depict compact one-, two- and three-bedroom units organized along central corridors. Elevations submitted with the application show a narrow, repeating window pattern and material bands intended to visually break up the facade.
Site history and parking
Urbanize LA reports that the existing building at 4061 S. Main was developed in 1908 and that the proposal would remove the current two-story, four-unit structure. Coverage from WhatNow notes that submitted plans indicate parking for 31 vehicles on the lower levels, consistent with project materials filed with the city.
Approval path
The City Planning case lists the application as "On Hold" and shows the file was assigned April 21, 2026. A formal hearing has not yet been scheduled, according to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning. Because the project seeks incentives under LAMC 12.22 A.39, approvals will follow the city’s affordable housing entitlement process for 100% affordable developments. Neighbors and community groups will have a chance to weigh in once the case moves out of the initial review stage.
Why it matters
The filing is another attempt to tap city incentives and fee programs designed to speed up income-restricted housing, according to the Los Angeles Housing + Community Investment Department. If it advances, the 83 income-restricted units would add to a pipeline of projects that officials say is critical to expanding affordable supply in South Los Angeles.
