Official records
Records that help for a North Hollywood home
Because North Hollywood 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. The plan area lists the NoHo Artcraft District, the NoHo West sign district, North Hollywood and Laurel Canyon redevelopment plans and a Valley Village specific plan among its overlays. 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.

"I found Randy online without a referral of any kind. After discussing my project here in Pacific Palisades on the phone with Randy, I knew right away that he was the right guy for the job. Randy quickly started work on my appraisal. His research on the conditions of the market and research of comparable homes has given me excellent documentation for my home....I feel very content and satisfied with his evaluation. I might add also; Randy is not only a very educated pro at appraisals , but he is also very personalable,very kind , and very respectful. Thank you Randy... I look forward to working with you on future projects."
