Put simply, concrete tile suits Valley Village buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first.
On most jobs, a Valley Village property commonly carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Los Angeles County is no different. In practice, original decking on older Valley Village homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Multi-unit buildings in Valley Village usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off make good.
