Official records
Records that help for a Chatsworth home
Because Chatsworth is part of the City of Los Angeles, building permit and inspection history comes from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. It offers a free online Permit and Inspection Report that shows permit and code-enforcement activity for a property, and a records search called PRISM. Start at the department's online building records page. Listed overlays include the Devonshire/Topanga Corridor, Porter Ranch and Valley Circle/Plummer Street Scenic Corridor specific plans. Whether one applies to a parcel needs an address-level check. City Planning's Valley Public Counter answers questions at (818) 374-5050.
A record of past work helps an appraiser understand additions and repairs. A missing record is not a valuation conclusion, and an appraisal is not a certificate that a building meets code.
