My brother is working 24/7 and is running short of time to find a apartment of at least 600 sq ft in his longtime area Koreatown/MidWilshire--or slightly north or west of those areas, i.e. Highland Park would be about as far east as he could go. He's been to dozens of places but they are either filthy, not safe, or too small. He is an artist (with 3 college degrees--- one in architecture) and needs space to keep his art when not working full time. NO pets, girlfriend has her own condo in LA. Non smoker, quiet, no blaring stereo, as he doesn't own one.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANYThING AVAILABLE SOON-- NOT LISTED ON ANY OF THE STANDARD RENTAL SITES, SOME OF WHICH I HAVE FOUND ARE SCAMS---NOT SOMETHING I'VE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH WHERE I LIVE ON THE EAST COAST. PEOPLE ARE UNBELIEVABLE IN WHAT THEY GET AWAY WITH IN LA.
He can sign a one year lease, and his budget is $1,250 per month.

He should be able to find at least a room to rent in his price range (try padmapper.com), but I am, once again, amazed at the power attributed to C-D. We're not a secret society that has access to things beyond the scope of what a regular person can access.

I know you are hoping someone knows of a rental but maybe this site is a good place to start.
Echo Park is great and a good fit for your brother.
Good luck!

Westside Rentals is definitely NOT a good place to start.

I do agree that Westside Rentals is a scam and waste of money from personal experience

It's not a scam but it's entirely unnecessary when there are so many free services now.

I'd start with Craigslist (beware of the too good to be true ads, usually stolen from legitimate ads with a huge price reduction) and Padmapper, then check out sites like apartments.com, Radpad, Hotpads, Trulia, Postlets, etc. All are free.

If possible, walk the neighborhood and try to find smaller buildings that may not advertise online. Sometimes the best deals are there.
