833 Westbourne Drive builder's remedy project
Summary
The city's first builder's remedy project — a six-story, 25-unit luxury-leaning apartment building replacing three rent-stabilized units, with four affordable units and just six parking spaces. State law left the commission almost no discretion, and approval sets the tone for four more builder's remedy projects rumored in the Tri-West area.

Impact analysis
Three rent-stabilized units are demolished for a net gain of 22 units, only one of which is genuinely new affordable housing; litigation risk from denial could cost the city significant fees.
The developer and future residents of 25 new units, including four income-restricted households.
Neighbors face worse parking, lost mature trees and shadow impacts; the three displaced rent-stabilized tenants likely cannot return.
