How long does it take to obtain a Los Angeles City Research Report? Can the process be expedited?
It takes approximately 5 weeks for your application to be assigned to one of our engineers and an additional 3-5 weeks for the evaluation to be completed, a draft copy of the research report to be written, and the final copy of the research report signed. If the substantiating data is incomplete, such as missing test reports, testing not conducted by an approved testing agency, incomplete or missing engineering calculations, etc, the time to obtain a Los Angeles City Research Report may take longer. Expedite report review is available pursuant to section 98.0422 of the Los Angeles City Municipal Code. The amount of the fee for this service is in addition to the normal review fee and is equal to one-half of the review fee. The expedite service will reduce the time to assign your application from approximately 5-weeks to 2- weeks and will reduce the review period from 3- 5-weeks to 3-weeks.
