Buildings and street access
- A storage container like a PODS on a county street needs a county road encroachment permit, only county-approved vendors may place one, and it can stay no more than seven days in a row. Permits can take up to two weeks. Source: official LA County rule
- On county streets with posted sweeping hours, the Sheriff can cite any vehicle parked during those hours, even after the sweeper has passed, and the rule covers RVs, boats and trailers. Source: official LA County rule
- 76% of homes are single-family houses, so driveways, stairs and curb space matter more than elevators. Tell us about long driveways or steep streets.
- Apartment buildings with 5 or more units (16% of homes here) and HOA communities often ask movers for a certificate of insurance (COI). Ask for the requirements early; we send COIs the same day.
- 14% of homes were built before 1940, so most buildings have standard-width doors and stairwells. Walk-ups still change the crew size, so tell us the floor at both ends.
