LADBS Issues Guidelines to Put Temporary House on Sites

Chris Parker / February 13, 2025

LADBS announced this week the process by which property owners could put a temporary house such as a recreation vehicle, mobile home or manufactured home on their site while they are going through the rebuild process. The three steps are:

  1. Prove the site is safe and cleared of all structures and debris by getting a Phase 2 clearance from the US Army Corp of Engineers.
  2. Obtain permits for water, waste and electrical connections from LADBS. A building permit is not required provided that all the conditions of the LADBS memo regarding demolition of structures are met.
  3. Set up the temporary housing and then call for inspections to confirm the water, waste and electrical connections.
