Questions

What does an LA demolition permit tell me?

A structure, often a house, garage or ADU, is coming down soon, so hauling, abatement, fencing and dumpster companies are needed now, and new construction often follows.

Is interior demolition included?

No. Only LADBS permits typed Bldg-Demolition are included.

Where do these Los Angeles demolition leads come from?

From the City of Los Angeles's official open-data portal (Building, Electrical and Mechanical Permits Issued, datasets pi9x-tg5x, ysqd-apz7 and 67is-svtd). See the methodology page for the exact matching rules.

What do subscribers get?

The full address, scope of work, reported job value, permit type and stage for every record, plus a hand-picked call list with an honest opener and a CSV. LADBS does not publish contractor or owner names.

How much does it cost?

$29 a month for one trade or category, or $49 a month for everything, with a 14-day free trial. Cancel anytime.
