Chimney Service and Code Help in West Hollywood, CA
West Hollywood runs its own Building and Safety office, so a reline, a rebuild or a gas insert here is permitted by the city rather than by LADBS. Many homes are duplexes or small multi-unit buildings, and one chimney stack can carry flues for more than one unit. Our report notes which flue serves which unit, because an inspector will ask. The flats stay mild, but streets north of Sunset climb toward the brush of the Hollywood Hills, which Los Angeles maps as a very high fire hazard severity zone. A cap with spark arrestor mesh is the first thing we check on those blocks. Winter burn days follow the South Coast AQMD, as in the rest of our area.
