Question:
I`ve been retained as the engineer that is helping to get a permit for an existing basement for a property located at 2332 Claremont Ave in Los Angeles, CA. They`re wondering if they need to obtain a soils report or if the basement retaining walls can be designed using the standard design requirements such as using expansive soils.
Could you please let me know if they would need a soils report for this work? They`d rather know before submitting the permit set in the interest of saving time. Let me know any information you would require.
Answer:
The County of Los Angeles does not have jurisdiction of the subject property. Our records show the property is within the City of Los Angeles. Suggest you contact the City of Los Angeles at http://www.lacity.org/index.htm
