A new roof is built from drawings, not from an old roof. In North Hollywood the sheet has to name the covering, the slope, the underlayment and the fire class for the address. Census Bureau figures for North Hollywood: median year built 1965, 4,960 owner-occupied single-family homes (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024).
Plans and the City permit
North Hollywood falls under the City of Los Angeles, so LADBS is the office. Re-roofs with a Class A or B covering on solid sheathing at under 6 lb per square foot are express permits (LADBS, 2026). A roof that is part of new construction may fall under that project's permit, so ask the counter which route your plans take.
A plan sheet for a roof names the covering, the slope, the underlayment, the fire class, the drainage and the flashing. The permit office has the last word on what it wants to see.
Fire class on a new roof
Class A is required where a City of Los Angeles address sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (LADBS, 2026). Check the address on the CAL FIRE map viewer.
CAL FIRE updated its local responsibility area maps on 24 March 2025 (ABC7, 25 March 2025), so a map you saw a year ago may be out of date.
Where Title 24 enters
Energy rules come from the 2025 Energy Code, in force since 1 January 2026 (California Energy Commission, 2025). North Hollywood is in climate zone 9 (California Energy Commission, 2022).
Your designer sets the roof's energy values from the start. We read them off the plans and build to what is drawn.
