What is Code Enforcement Violation S-410-2 in Los Angeles?

This is all about your curb and gutter. Your curb is the cement at the very edge of your sidewalk and the gutter is the cement right under it before the street blacktop begins. 

Why did I get Code Enforcement Violation S-410-2 in Los Angeles?

You probably got this code violation because your curb and gutter:

• Are broken
• Were installed without permits
• Are blocking water from flowing unimpeded in the gutter

 

These types of violations are typically reported via the city’s My311LA system. This system allows city residents to report code violations to the city. So, it may have been a neighbor, someone who tripped on your curb or someone making a complaint under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

However your property was flagged, this is a serious violation and needs to be cleared up before it costs you thousands of dollars. 

How much will Code Enforcement Violation S-410-2 cost?

Do not sleep on this. Code Violations are pricey and only get more pricey the longer you let it go. 

• A Code Violation Inspection fee of $356.16 MUST be paid within 30 days
• After 30 days, an additional $890.40 late fee will be added
• So, if you don’t pay the initial fee within 30 days, you are looking at a bill of $1,246.56

But wait! There’s more. 

If you are not working towards solving your code violation:

• You will be fined an additional $660 for non-compliance 
• If you don’t pay that fine within 30 days, you will be fined an additional $1.650, for a total of $2,130.

Still not complying? Your case will be sent to the City Attorney and criminal charges may be filed against you.

Still not paying any of those fines? A lien will be placed on your property. 

So, play is safe. Get that code violation taken care of ASAP. 

How do I fix Code Enforcement Violation S-410-2 in Los Angeles?

With this type of violation, you’re going to need to pull some permits.

Anytime you are doing work on a curb and gutter, you will need to get yourself an A-Permit. 

What’s an A-Permit? 

An A-Permit covers minor street construction in the public right-of-way. A-Permits cover all sorts of projects including:

• Curb and gutter repair
• Curb drains
• Sidewalk repair
• Sidewalk installation
• Installation of streetscape fixtures (bicycles racks, speed humps, parklets, parkways landscaping, etc.)
• Street tree wells
• Street resurfacing/repairs for minor excavations

 

When you get an A-Permit, a city inspector will come out and assess what work will need to be completed and how it will need to be done. Usually, the inspector meets with your licensed contractor to hash this out. 

In addition to the fees associated with getting an A-Permit, you will pay double the permit fee, but never less than $400. 

Who can pull an A-Permit in Los Angeles?

While anyone associated with your project can pull an A-Permit, property owners tend to hire a licensed contractor or an experienced permit expeditor to pull the permits for you. The permitting process can be a challenge, to say the least.
