The L.A. City Council votes to provide up to $322,000 in relocation money to dozens of low-income tenants who must move from a South Los Angeles apartment building declared unsafe by inspectors.

The owner wants to redevelop the nearly 4-acre site with residential units, offices and shops. But tenants have urged the city to consider buying the property, valued at as much as $30 million.

The landlord turned a single-family house into more than 40 rental rooms, raising questions about how the project passed inspections and received permits.
