The worst City ever I have seen in USA. Please just type in Google and found out the number of corruptions and frauds that have recorded!!! Shouldn't expect any rating more than zero.

I have been a homeowner in Glendale for 22 years and I have come to the point where my home is in need of remodeling with a small addition. I have decided to hire an architect and a licensed contractor to do this job. These professionals have done their work in a timely manner however I can’t say the same about the City of Glendale Building and Safety employees. Not only has my architect and contractor reached out, I have reached out multiple times with no response. If I could give zero stars, I would have. While it’s a great city to live in, it’s very unfriendly when it comes to taking care of homeowners who would like to follow the “book” and be lawful. It’s weird when you drive around this town you will notice probably a dozen housing projects going up while we wait for months on a small 300-400 sq-ft addition. 3-4 weeks ....4-6 weeks... its all fake ...The building and safety team needs an overhaul.

service so bad and so contrarian, it makes you rethink moving to glendale. Our plan checker actually said, with pride, that they don't just go to 3 corrections, but they do at least 8-9. That means it takes 8-9 times 3months to get plans approved. with all of the mc-mansions going up, you'd think they'd have better priorities, but they don't. just obstacles to legitimate construction projects: no wonder no one in the area applies for permits or has architects do their plans; just contractor builds done on the sly. terrible.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster

Robert Tarpey | Aug 25, 2018

If you are planning to place the dumpster on the street, (aka, the public right-of-way), yes, you will need a permit, which is called a Street-use Permit. If you are a resident and are able to prove residency, you may have the first two days, free of charge. On the third day, the permit fee will be $356.00, and about $26.00 per day added on. The average length for having a dumpster on the street is 2 weeks. If you need to have it longer, that may be arranged. You may get/obtain the Street-use Permit at the Permit Service Center, located at 633 E. Broadway, Room 101, between the hours of 7am - 12noon. You must have the permit in place 2 days before the dumpster is due to be placed on the street.

I need to replace my store front windows at 1141,43,and 45 N. Pacific Ave. Gd. I know that new windows has to be Title 24, however the new window glass will be too dark and you can't see selling items inside of the stores, any suggestions?

Title 24 doesn't mean it is being dark... Has to have specific U factor and SHGC

As a general contractor in LA , do I need to obtain any kind of permit to preform work in Glendale, like in Beverly Hills ?

Steve Byroads | Aug 25, 2019
Pamela Johnson | Aug 25, 2019

I'm not sure of what type of work specifically you are asking about, but rather you work on private or in the public right-of-way, you will need a permit and a City of Glendale business license. You will need a State of California Contractors License. A= public or private B=private only or a "corresponding C license. If working on the public right-of-way, you will need insurance. Hope this helps.
