Fire Rebuild & Reconstruction in Eagle Rock
Eagle Rock fire rebuilds drawn for the LADBS green building review: charger raceway, low-flow fixtures, humidity-switched fans, dry framing and waste records.
The LADBS plan checker on an Eagle Rock rebuild reads one sheet that has nothing to do with fire: the green building checklist. When a house is rebuilt from the foundation, California's green building code treats it as new construction. So the reviewer looks for a raceway toward a future car charger, low-flow fixtures, bath fans run by a humidity control and a plan that keeps construction waste out of the landfill.
What the green sheet lists
Each line on the sheet points to a product or a step. Toilets, showerheads and faucets come from models listed under the state flow limits. Paints, adhesives and sealants are low emission, and composite wood carries a formaldehyde label. Bath fans vent outdoors and switch on with humidity. With an attached garage, a raceway runs from the panel toward a charger spot, and the panel keeps room for that circuit. One item matters more on a fire site: framing may not be closed in while its moisture content reads above 19 percent, so wood that got wet during the work is dried and metered first.
Proving it at final
Recycling has to be shown on paper. We keep hauler receipts and a waste log through the job, since the inspector wants proof that at least 65 percent of construction waste was diverted. Fixture cut sheets, the paint and adhesive labels and the moisture readings go into the same binder. A repair that leaves the house standing touches far fewer of these lines, which is one more input to the repair or rebuild choice. The same review checks where the parcel falls on the state fire hazard maps, which settles whether the wildfire chapter also applies to the new shell.

Fire Rebuild & Reconstruction in Eagle Rock: common questions
Testing answers it. A frame and foundation that test sound make repair the shorter path, and few green items come with it. If heat or hose water ruined most of the structure, the house returns as new construction with the full green sheet and its energy forms. Our written report sets out the tests and what each path brings.
Yes. Green code items are easy to miss because the burned house may never have had them. We add the charger raceway, humidity switched fans, listed fixtures and waste tracking where the estimate lacks them, cite the requirement behind each, and return the comparison for your insurance claim.
That check sits beside the green one at plan review. LADBS pulls the state fire hazard designation for the Eagle Rock parcel, and where the parcel is mapped, the eaves, decks, cladding, glazing, vents and roof of the new house must meet the wildfire chapter. Where it is not, the hardened parts are yours to pick from a priced list.
