Put simply, moss on a shaded Culver City slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Trimming back branches over a Culver City roof removes the debris that holds damp against the covering and shortens its life.
Work in Culver City is inspected as well as permitted — the Culver City building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. The permit record for a Culver City property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. That is as true in Culver City as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Fire-zone properties around Culver City carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
