Realistically, 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 Valley Village quote should state the assembly being installed. Full replacements in Valley Village generally require a permit through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, with an inspection once the work is finished. Los Angeles County is no different. As a rule, reroofing over existing layers in Valley Village is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection.
