Chimney Service and Code Help in Brentwood, CA
Brentwood is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from the Department of Building and Safety. Large homes here often have two or three chimneys, and a Level 2 for a sale scans each flue separately. The streets north of Sunset are in a very high fire hazard severity zone, and the January 2025 Palisades Fire came close on the west. Insurers writing policies here often ask for a photo of the chimney top at renewal.
