As a rule, work in Woodland Hills is inspected as well as permitted — the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. It is the same story on most Woodland Hills streets.
As a rule, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Woodland Hills even where code does not require them. Concrete tile suits Woodland Hills buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Flat and low-slope sections in Woodland Hills need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.
