The kind of things we help catch.

High-rise moment frame beam-column connection missing required special inspection documentation per LAMC
Emergency lighting circuit in entertainment venue lacks independent feeder per LAMC electrical amendments
Assembly occupancy exit corridor width does not meet 0.3-inch-per-occupant calculation for nightclub buildout
Title 24 photovoltaic system sizing below minimum requirement for new residential construction in LA
Greywater diversion system piping not identified with required purple markings per City of LA standards
Mixed-use podium building envelope thermal bridging at steel balcony connections exceeds Title 24 limits
And only if we identify something that wasn't already on your list.
If everything identified was already on your list, you pay nothing. You keep the report either way.
GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
Does the report account for LADBS-specific amendments beyond the base California codes?
Yes. The City of Los Angeles enforces its own amendments through LAMC, and our AI specialists reference those local rules alongside the CBC, CEC, and Title 24. The $250 report flags LA-specific items other tools miss.
Can Code Buddy help with tenant improvement inspections in Los Angeles commercial spaces?
Yes. Tenant improvements in Los Angeles require separate LADBS permits and inspections. Our report checks fire separation, ADA compliance, and energy code items typical of commercial TI projects, delivered within 24 hours.
How does the report handle high-rise construction in downtown LA?
Our specialists check structural special inspection requirements, fire-rated assembly continuity, high-rise evacuation systems, and seismic joint detailing. We flag issues that commonly cause LADBS correction notices on tall buildings.
Is the $250 report useful for ADU projects inside LA city limits?
Very useful. City of Los Angeles ADU rules differ from county rules on setbacks, parking, and utility connections. Our report checks those LA-specific standards so you avoid surprise corrections at inspection.
What do I need to submit to get my report?
Upload clear photos of the work in progress and your current open items or correction list. We return a written findings report within 24 hours identifying issues across all trades.
