HYDRANTS AND ACCESS UNIT Notice: The Development Services Center building (201 N. Figueroa St.) remains closed to the public entirely with the exception of the ground floor. There are drop off and pick up boxes in the lobby for each Development Services department, including LAFD, where any hardcopy documents may be left and retrieved. Please also note the LAFD counters in West L.A. and Van Nuys are both closed until further notice.
UPDATED: EFFECTIVE THURSDAY JUNE 18, 2020: To Submit Plans to LAFD Hydrants and Access 1) Currently we are only accepting hard copies of plans via drop-off at our Metro Office located at 201 N. Figueroa St. The Hydrants and Access Unit is unable to review digital plans at this time. 2) PLEASE drop off your plans in the “Fire Department” bin in the lobby, fill out the Hydrants and Access Plan Review form (separate document) legibly and completely, and attach the form to your plans along with a copy of your permit application with clearance sheet. At a MINIMUM, plans should include site plans, floor plans, and elevations. Please be sure to include any other drawings that will assist with the plan review. You’ll be notified via email when your plan review is complete with an attached invoice and payment instructions or requested modifications/corrections. 3) For re-stamps, please provide a completed plan check application, the original stamped set of plans, and the new sets of plans to be stamped. 4) We will be available for questions and concerns that can be answered via email and phone calls. 5) Please send all general questions and requests to lafdhydrants@lacity.org along with any supporting documents in PDF format. 6) Plans will be available for pick up in the lobby of Figueroa Plaza across from where they were initially dropped off. You will be contacted via email/phone and scheduled for a pickup date when the review is completed. 7) You will receive an invoice with instructions for completing payment through the online cashiering system. Payments will be accepted via electronic check or credit card. LAFD Hydrants and Access will clear the transaction upon receipt of payment within 2 business days. We appreciate your assistance and patience during this period. Counter reviews are no longer available until further notice.
