Put simply, the permit record for a Temple City property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. It is the same story on most Temple City streets. Realistically, work in Temple City is inspected as well as permitted — the Temple City building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application.

Many Temple City properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. As a rule, roof covering age across Temple City clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. This holds across Los Angeles County. Housing stock in Temple City runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling generally tells you when the building went up.
