Buildings and street access

  • On LAFD Red Flag days, cars parked at posted Red Flag no-parking signs in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (mostly hillside areas) are towed. Source: official City of Los Angeles rule
  • 40% of homes in ZIP 90045 are in buildings with 5 or more units, 31% in buildings with 20 or more. Expect elevator reservations, set move-in hours and COI requests; we send COIs the same day.
  • 1% of homes in ZIP 90045 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.

FAQ

Moving to Westchester? Good to know.

See all FAQs
We've completed 44 moves in Westchester since 2021, not yet enough of each home size for Westchester-only prices. Across all our local moves over the last 2 years, a 1-bedroom move usually cost $600 to $1,000 (3.5 to 7 hours, 2 movers) and a 3-bedroom move usually cost $1,200 to $2,900 (5 to 9 hours, 4 movers), before tips. Stairs, packing and distance move the number, and the quote we give you is the price you pay.
To hold curb space for the truck, yes. What to get: temporary no-parking signs posted by LADOT (City of Los Angeles rules). Issued by: LADOT, Special Traffic Control Division. Request by calling (213) 485-2298; LADOT bills a sign posting fee that can be paid online after the request is made.
Most of our apartment moves here take 4 to 7 hours with 2 movers, based on 21 local apartment moves since 2021. In larger buildings the elevator sets the pace, so reserve it for the whole window.
Often, yes. 57% of our Westchester moves were booked within a week of moving day, and half were booked 5 days ahead or less. Month-end and weekend dates go first (39% of our moves here fall on a weekend), so call as soon as you have a date.
Probably. 40% of homes here are in buildings with 5 or more units, and most managed buildings ask movers for a COI. Ask your building for its requirements and send them to us; we send COIs the same day.
Electric: LADWP. Water: Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). Gas: SoCalGas. Trash: LA Sanitation & Environment (LASAN) for single-family homes; apartment buildings with 5 or more units use recycLA franchise haulers. Start service a few days before move day so the lights and water are on when the truck arrives.
Usually, with a plan. On LAFD Red Flag days, cars parked at posted Red Flag no-parking signs in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (mostly hillside areas) are towed. Give us both addresses and we'll pick the truck size and where it parks.
