Pueblo del Rio / Pueblo del Rio Extension Public Housing

The Pueblo del Rio and Pueblo del Rio Extension Public Housing project is a comprehensive modernization effort managed by the Los Angeles Housing Department and funded through CA16P004-501-26. Located at 1801 E. 53rd Street in Los Angeles, California, the project focuses on upgrading public housing units to ensure ADA compliance and overall structural integrity. The scope of work includes extensive interior and exterior improvements such as routine dwelling unit modernization, electrical upgrades, fire damage repairs, and the installation of new 20-year roofs. Environmental remediation is a key component, involving asbestos abatement, tile replacement, mold removal, and the stabilization of lead-based paint. Infrastructure and site enhancements include the replacement of aged gas, water, and sewer utility lines, as well as the repair and replacement of concrete and paving for sidewalks, parking lots, interior streets, and trash enclosures. The project also prioritizes safety and community wellness by upgrading playgrounds, exercise equipment, and fencing, while installing security cameras and exterior lighting. Administered by the Los Angeles Housing Department with Shelly Lo serving as the primary point of contact, the project has been filed under a California Environmental Quality Act Notice of Exemption to support the Housing Assistance Program through improvements to existing pathways and landscaping.
