In practice, codes change, and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Toluca Lake estimate should state the assembly being installed. As a rule, work in Toluca Lake is inspected as well as permitted — the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety signs off the finished assembly, not just the application.
Supplements are normal on Toluca Lake claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Policies covering Toluca Lake properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Los Angeles County is no different. On most jobs, emergency tarping on a Toluca Lake roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it.
