Public Record Requests

The department utilizes an appointment-based records review system to better serve and expedite your requests.  All reviews of records are by appointment only.  To schedule an appointment, please call (310) 285-1141, and select Option 8.  During these appointments, plans may be reviewed; however, no photography, re-drawing or other duplication is allowed. If copies are needed, please see staff for the required duplication forms. Permission must be granted by the "owner and professional of record" before copies can be made.
Please note: If copies are needed for any of the documents being reviewed, please submit a records request prior to the appointment.
