Architectural Review Before the Building Permit
Arcadia has five homeowners associations recognized by City Council Resolution, and each has an Architectural Review Board holding design review authority over its area. If your property sits inside one, a visible deck or stair rebuild needs that board's approval as well as a city permit. Owners regularly discover this in the wrong order, which is how a straightforward job stalls.
The city sits about 13 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley, at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. Foothill position changes the arithmetic. Runoff does not trickle in here, and a drain sized for light rain gives up in a real storm and lets the surface flood over its edge and behind the stucco.
There are 19,377 occupied units in Arcadia, 11,372 owner occupied and 8,005 rented. The work splits along that line: rear decks and entry stairs on single family homes, and balconies, landings and shared walkways on condominium buildings where one failure lands on somebody else's ceiling.
Where a board has design authority, what they care about is visible. Guard style, the color and texture of the walking surface, whether a rebuilt stair reads the same as the ones either side of it. We can build the assembly correctly under any of those choices, but the choice needs making before submittal, not after the tear-off is open.
Below the surface the priorities never change. Positive slope to a drain that can carry a storm, metal at every edge, a properly built junction where the deck meets the wall, and flashing behind anything that penetrates the deck.

Waterproofing in Arcadia: Your Questions
My tract is in one of the recognized homeowners associations. What does that change?
Each of the five associations recognized by City Council Resolution runs an Architectural Review Board with design review authority over its area, so a visible exterior change needs that board's sign-off as well as the city permit.
Water only comes through in a heavy storm, never in light rain. Why?
That is capacity, not membrane. In light rain the drain keeps up. In a foothill downpour water backs up above the drain flange, finds the edge or the threshold, and goes behind the finish. Another topcoat will not fix it.
Can you work on an occupied condominium building?
Yes, and most of our Arcadia multifamily work is exactly that. We phase it so every unit keeps a safe route in and out, close off only the section being torn out, and coordinate notices with the association first.
