Mariachis and families are moving back into Boyle Heights's reopened Boyle Hotel, which was originally built in 1889 and has just undergone a thorough renovation (and de-pesting). But new tenants got a shock when the rents, which are designated affordable, were miscalculated--one mariachi musician was originally quoted $658, then $1,048 when he went to pick up his keys. The developer says it "inadvertently used the wrong formulas to calculate rents" and it's now making individual concessions. [LAT, previously]
