West Hollywood Demands Action on Abandoned Construction Site Turned “Coyote Condo”
West Hollywood is demanding action from the owner of an abandoned construction site at North Spaulding Avenue and Romaine Street, which has become a "coyote condo" after a pack of coyotes took over the unfinished 22-unit condominium project.
Los Angeles, CA, July 29, 2026 —
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – City officials in West Hollywood are calling for action regarding an abandoned construction site that has become an unlikely habitat for a pack of coyotes.
The unfinished 22-unit condominium project, located at the intersection of North Spaulding Avenue and Romaine Street, has been taken over by wildlife, earning the nickname “coyote condo” among concerned residents and officials.
The city is reportedly demanding that the owner of the property address the situation. The extended period of abandonment has allowed the coyotes to establish a den and thrive within the structure.
Details regarding the owner’s identity and the specific actions being demanded by the city were not immediately available. The status of the construction project itself, including the reasons for its abandonment and any potential timelines for resumption or demolition, has not been disclosed.
The presence of wildlife in urban environments is a growing concern for many municipalities, and this particular situation highlights the challenges of managing abandoned properties that can become havens for animals. Further updates are expected as the city continues to pursue action from the property owner.
