What makes ground up & fire rebuild construction different in Hollywood
Hollywood's residential pockets above Franklin and into the Dell carry 1920s–1940s Spanish Revival, Tudor, and Mediterranean homes, many of them in HPOZs (Whitley Heights and others). Pre-war infrastructure shapes most renovations. Below Franklin, the housing mix is mixed multi-family and single-family with newer 2010s contemporary builds along the eastern edge.
Most Hollywood homes were built before 1980. That means galvanized supply lines, undersized electrical panels, original gas runs, and rough-in plumbing that hasn't been touched in decades. Once walls open during a ground up & fire rebuild construction project, we expect to bring the underlying systems to current code, not as a surprise, as a plan.
Hollywood runs its own permitting through LADBS (with HPOZ in some pockets). Plan-check timelines run on a separate clock from LADBS. We've worked through the local department often enough to know what their reviewers flag and what they wave through, so we submit the right drawing set the first time.
Common architecture in Hollywood: Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Mediterranean. We design central la renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.
