Rebuilding an Arleta home after fire

Arleta fire rebuild under the same LADBS process as Pacoima, Panorama City, Mission Hills, North Hills and Van Nuys, run from a single written checklist.

Arleta shares its building department with Pacoima, Panorama City, Mission Hills, North Hills and Van Nuys, since all of them lie inside the City of Los Angeles. That makes the paperwork the same across those lots: the LADBS plan check, the permit card and the inspection points. Our part matches too. Each lot gets an assessment, a written scope and a staged build, run from a single checklist.

The checklist behind each stage

The checklist follows the house from the ground up. At assessment the list holds the slab, the soils, the sewer lateral and the utility stubs. Before a pour, anchor positions and hold-downs are matched to the foundation plan. Insulation waits until nailing, straps and headers are checked, and every open wall is photographed first so you keep a record of where pipes, wires and blocking run. The last pass looks at exterior details and energy items ahead of the final visit. Each stage gets our own check before the inspector arrives to sign it off.

San Fernando and parcel maps

San Fernando, also close by, files different paperwork. The City of San Fernando keeps its own building department, so a lot there is drawn to the same standard and submitted at that counter, with its own fees and inspectors. Fire hazard maps are read parcel by parcel, and neighboring lots can face different exterior rules, which we confirm at assessment. The general inland valley setting is shared: strong sun, drying wind and an occasional heavy downpour shape the roof, the attic and the drainage on each lot. Everything else on the checklist stays as written.
