Adoption of the 2023 Los Angeles County Existing Building Code shall be subject to the amendment in its entirety of Chapter 14 (Relocated or Moved Buildings). As amended, Chapter 14 shall state the following:

Chapter 14 Relocated or Moved Buildings.

Buildings, structures, and their building service equipment moved into or within this jurisdiction shall comply with the provisions of the technical codes for new buildings or structures and their building service equipment, as amended by the State of California. Applicants requesting moving permits shall submit a certificate showing freedom from termite infestation for each building or structure to be moved. Said certificate shall be submitted at the time application for the moving permit has been duly filed. Upon filing of the application for permit to move a building or structure, and payment of the fee prescribed in the adopted fee schedule, the Building Official shall cause the building or structure to be inspected and shall prepare a written report which shall be forwarded to the applicant. This report shall indicate the approval or disapproval by the Building Official, and if approved for moving, shall outline the requirements necessary to make the building or structure conform to the codes and regulations of this and other ordinances duly adopted by the City of El Monte.

The report of inspection shall remain valid for a period of ninety (90) days from the date that the building or structure has been inspected. If the building or structure has not been relocated by the expiration of this time limit, then a new report and inspection fee shall be required. The applicant shall agree in writing, which shall be notarized, to make all the required changes and repairs within one hundred and eighty (180) days after relocation and shall post with the Building Official, a faithful performance bond, cash or surety, in an amount equal to the cost of the required reconstruction as determined by the Building Official. The faithful performance bond shall guarantee that the required changes shall be made, or the building or structure shall be removed or demolished, and the site cleared, cleaned, and restored to its original condition insofar as is practical.
