Four Reviewers on One Set of Plans

Most plans in Gardena have to be reviewed and approved by Planning, Public Works, the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Los Angeles Unified School District. Four agencies on one submittal is more moving parts than most cities, and each one can send a set back on its own. We assemble for that up front rather than discovering the fourth reviewer after the first three have signed.

Gardena is in the South Bay, so marine air is part of the equation, and around 53 percent of occupied housing is rented. That means a steady share of shared walkway, open stair and stacked balcony work alongside single family decks.

On rental property the pattern is consistent. Foot traffic wears the surface thin at the doorways and the stair head, water gets under it there, and it runs along the framing until it finds a way out. Tenants notice the stain on their ceiling, not the worn patch outside a neighbor's door.

Marine air adds a second clock. Fasteners, edge metal and stringer connections corrode steadily even in a dry year, and rust bleeding through a coating is usually a sign that the metal beneath has been wet a long time. We replace corroded hardware rather than coating over it.

We would rather find all of that at the estimate. A short opening at the low point and a moisture read tells us whether this is a surface rebuild or a structural one, and the price stops being a moving target.

Waterproofing in Gardena: Your Questions

Why do Gardena plans take more coordination?

Because most plans must be reviewed and approved by Planning, Public Works, the Los Angeles County Fire Department and LAUSD. Four separate reviewers means the package has to satisfy all of them from the first submittal.

Where is the building counter?

The Building Division sits with Planning and Permits and Licenses in City Hall, Room 101, at 1700 W. 162nd Street. We file there and carry the job through inspection.

Does South Bay air really shorten a deck's life?

It shortens the hardware's life, which amounts to the same thing. Marine air corrodes fasteners and edge metal steadily, and once those let go, the coating they were holding down follows.
