SEC. 93.0229. FEES FOR ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS.

Los Angeles Building Code — LAMC Chapter IX · 2026-08 edition · updated 2026-09-09 · Los Angeles

(a) Each permit shall be entitled to four inspection trips when the job is of a type requiring an inspection before covering or concealing the work. On jobs which may be completely inspected on one inspection trip, two inspection trips will be allowed.

EXCEPTION: The number of inspection trips will not be limited on progress jobs; provided, however, that only one inspection will be permitted for checking a correction. For the purpose of this section, progress jobs are those where circumstances beyond the control of the qualified installer make it impossible for the electrical work to be completed at any specific time.

(b) If more inspection trips than are specified in Subsection (a) of this section are required due to fault or error on the part of the qualified installer or the qualified installer’s employees, an additional fee as specified in LAMC Section 98.0412(b) shall be paid for each such additional inspection trip. (Amended by Ord. No. 185,587, Eff. 7/16/18.)

(c) Corrections shall be completed within 30 days of the date of issuance of a written notice to the qualified installer by the Department. Installations on which a written notice has been issued shall be rechecked by the Department after 30 days have elapsed from the date of issuance of the notice.

(d) The Department may recheck installations upon which violations continue to exist at intervals of 30 days or more until either the violations are eliminated or a total of three rechecks are made. The fees specified in Subsection (b) of this section shall apply for each recheck inspection.

(e) The fees charged under this section are in addition to any other fees shown in this Code and the payment of the fees required by this section shall not exempt any person from compliance with other provisions of this Code, nor from any penalty prescribed by law. (Amended by Ord. No. 185,587, Eff. 7/16/18.)

(f) Whenever special enforcement procedures are required to obtain compliance with properly executed Department notices or orders, a fee, as specified in LAMC Section 98.0407, shall be assessed in addition to the added trip fee specified in Subsection (b) of this section. (Amended by Ord. No. 185,587, Eff. 7/16/18.)

SEC. 93.0230. SPECIAL INSPECTIONS.

(a) Off-Hours Inspection. (Amended by Ord. No 166,524, Eff. 1/29/91.) The Department may, at its discretion, make emergency inspections at other than normal working hours, upon the request of a permittee, provided that additional fees are paid as specified in Section 98.0406 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code.

(b) Special Equipment. (Amended by Ord. No. 185,587, Eff. 7/16/18.) The Department may inspect special equipment that is exempt from approval as set forth in the Exceptions to LAMC Section 93.0402 upon application by the owner or lessee of the equipment.

The fees for a special equipment inspection shall be charged at the rate specified in LAMC Section 98.0412(d), per hour for each inspector. The fee required by this section shall be in addition to the fees required elsewhere in this Code.

(c) Existing Buildings. (Amended by Ord. No. 185,587, Eff. 7/16/18.) The owner may apply for inspection of the electric wiring in an existing building. The inspector shall notify the owner of any alterations necessary. A Certificate of Inspection will be issued to the building owner when all applicable CEC and Los Angeles Electrical Code requirements are met.

Where a reinspection is required in order to authorize the serving agency to reconnect an existing service, an owner may apply for inspection in accordance with the above. A fee equal to 50% of those specified m Subsection (b) of this section shall be paid.
