Turning the Rear Garage Into an ADU
Most of what we build in North Hollywood happens on tight 1920s-to-1950s lots where the house sits close to the street and the whole project lives in the back forty feet. Access is the constant: narrow side yards, alley approaches, and neighbors on both sides.
We size equipment to the gate we actually have, and we look hard at the existing panel and sewer before committing to an ADU or a pool.
Most parcels are compact rectangles with the house pushed toward the street and narrow side yards, leaving a modest but workable rear yard. Detached rear garages are common and are frequent conversion candidates.
The team that plans your North Hollywood project is the team that builds it.

The Ground Rules in North Hollywood
Permits in North Hollywood
Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS)
LADBS is the permitting authority, and Valley projects are plan-checked and inspected through the Van Nuys Development Services Center. No coastal or hillside overlay applies on this section of the valley floor. Where a parcel falls in a CGS-mapped liquefaction zone (ZIMAS shows it), LADBS Information Bulletin P/BC 2026-044 still exempts one- and two-family dwellings, ADUs under three stories, and pools, spas and decks from the liquefaction-zone investigation, so soils report needs are settled with plan check.
The city's protected tree and shrub ordinance covers oak, western sycamore, black walnut, California bay, Mexican elderberry and toyon at four cumulative inches of trunk diameter, and removal or encroachment needs an Urban Forestry permit. Pool barrier height, self-closing and self-latching gates and drowning-prevention features are verified at final inspection, and review durations vary.
Permit details checked September 2026 against LADBS , LA City Planning and California law . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.
What We Plan For
- Garage-to-ADU conversions
- Small-lot pool and courtyard layouts
- Restricted-access excavation planning
- Narrow side yards decide whether an excavator reaches the rear or the dig becomes a conveyor-and-hand-load operation.
- Alley access behind many blocks is the practical staging route for gunite, concrete and material deliveries, and overhead utility clearance has to be checked before scheduling.
- Housing from the 1920s through the 1950s often has raised perimeter foundations with under-reinforced stem walls that need attention before a large addition ties in.
- Mature street trees and dense rear-yard canopy limit crane picks and shade pool areas enough to change heater sizing and planting selection.
