Realistically, a Studio City roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. We see it on Studio City roofs every week.
Full replacements in Studio City generally require a permit through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, with an inspection once the work is finished. Inspection scheduling in Studio City adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. Structural the project on a Studio City roof covering triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself.
