South LA lot tax-delinquent since 2024, $4M affordable permit filed

A vacant parcel at 10721 S Broadway in the Broadway-Manchester area of South Los Angeles has carried a tax-delinquent status since 2024, according to LA County Assessor records, while its owner pursues a $4 million permit for a ground-up, 100 percent affordable apartment building on the same lot. Assessor Identification Number 6074012019 holds both filings: a default flag from the county and a four-story construction plan routed through the state’s SB 330 and Executive Directive 1 pathway, the fast lane the city reserves for projects that are entirely affordable housing.

Why it matters

SB 330 and ED1 exist to move 100 percent affordable projects through entitlement and permitting faster than market-rate buildings, trimming discretionary review and hearing requirements. That means the same parcel can be behind on county taxes and still clear city plan check on an accelerated track, because affordability status, not tax standing, is what triggers the streamlined review. A reader watching South LA land should take the pairing as a read on pressure, not necessarily on project risk: the project can proceed even with the default outstanding, and continued non-payment is a separate clock that runs independently of permitting. Under county rules, sustained delinquency can eventually lead to a public tax sale after years of non-payment, though the Assessor’s flag alone does not say how close this parcel is to that point.

The numbers

The Assessor lists AIN 6074012019 as Vacant Land, defaulted in 2024. LADBS permit 25010-10001-03929, filed as a supplement to permit 25010-10000-03929, declares $4,000,000 in valuation for a new four-story, 100 percent affordable apartment building built under Type VA construction over one level, with the supplement covering accessibility, fire-life-safety, green building and structural review. The permit remains submitted, not yet issued. The LA County Treasurer-Tax Collector holds the actual delinquent dollar amount; that figure was not available through the county’s public balance-due and auction tools as of this writing.

What’s next

The permit’s accessibility, fire-life-safety, green and structural review will determine how quickly the affordable building clears plan check under its streamlined track. The tax default is a separate thread worth watching: continued non-payment keeps the parcel moving toward eventual county tax-sale eligibility, regardless of how the permit proceeds. No owner is named here; the Assessor’s public record does not establish an individual’s identity for this reporting.
