Areas
Ten places and their rules
From North Hollywood to Maywood, each page shows the houses, the heat and the permit office for the place.
Call (747) 206-2554
A roof in Hermosa Beach answers to a different office than a roof in El Monte. Each of the ten places has its own housing numbers and climate zone.
The ten places
Each card gives one real data point: the median year the homes were built, from the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 survey.
How permit offices split the county
Inside the City of Los Angeles, LADBS issues permits. In unincorporated land, County Public Works does. Each other city runs its own counter, or contracts the County to do it, as Westlake Village does.
