Three Reviews, In Order
South Gate runs its approvals in sequence: once approved by Planning and Public Works, you may submit to Building and Safety. Get that order wrong and the submittal simply will not be accepted, which is a week gone on a job where a walkway is already fenced off.
The city covers 7.4 square miles about seven miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, in the Gateway Cities region, with 25,084 housing units at nearly 3,500 per square mile and 98 percent of them occupied. Dense and fully lived in, so repairs get staged around residents rather than around the crew.
Renters hold 54.8 percent of occupied units, so the majority of the surfaces we repair are shared. On a walkway serving eight units the failure is not just a maintenance item, it is an exposure that grows every day the surface stays in service with a soft spot in it.
Where the water gets in is consistent. Doorway thresholds, the head and foot of the stair, and the ledger where the walkway ties into the building. The field of the deck is rarely the entry point, which is why a fresh coat across the field so often changes nothing at all.
We open a small area at the low point before pricing. It settles whether the sheathing and framing are dry, and it means the number we give you does not move once the demolition starts.

Waterproofing in South Gate: Your Questions
What order do the approvals go in?
Planning and Public Works approve first. Only once that is done may you submit to Building and Safety. Filing out of order gets the package turned away, which costs a week on a job that is already fenced off.
How does the debris deposit work?
The city holds a C&D debris recycling deposit on the permit. After the final inspection passes, the full deposit can be refunded if 65 percent or more of the debris was recycled or reused. Below that it is pro-rated.
Can the building stay occupied during the work?
Yes. With 24,577 of 25,084 housing units occupied, it has to. We phase by run so every unit keeps a safe way in and out for the whole job.
