How it works in North Hollywood
One call covers the permit, the utility, installation, inspection and removal.
1. Permit
We pull the electrical permit with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) and schedule the inspection.
2. Utility service request
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) serves North Hollywood, Valley Village and Toluca Lake, along with the rest of the City of Los Angeles. We submit the request, and the utility planner sets the pole location.

We set and wire the pole with a 100A or 200A panel, meet the inspector, and the utility sets the meter and energizes.
