Customer Call Center

Effective December 1, 2007, the Department of Building and Safety Customer Call Center's toll free number 888-LA4-BUILD and the outside L.A. County number (213) 482-0000, will ONLY be used for automated requests for inspections. You may still request your inspection through our web site at www.ladbs.org

Deputy Inspection notification may be made by calling the 3-1-1 number or by completing a Deputy Fax Notification form and faxing it to (213) 482-6838 or 6839 by 3:30 pm one working day before the day of the inspection. Deputy Inspection Notification is not currently available on the Automated Inspection Request System.

All other department information will be processed by 3-1-1 Communication Information Representatives from the City of Los Angeles' 3-1-1 Call Center, a "One Call to City Hall" program for non-emergency city services.

The 3-1-1 Call Center was designed to serve as a single point-of-entry into the City for our telephonic customers and to:

  • Provide immediate responses to all calls requiring non-technical assistance
  • Process property complaints
  • Take all Request for Inspections (single request only)
  • Provide inspection date and time
  • Refer zoning/code questions to Engineer and Inspector
  • Answer general questions (i.e. office hours and locations)

Customers calling within Los Angeles County area will be able to call the 3-1-1 Call Center for information or assistance at no cost, by calling :
