Code & Contractor Compliance
Helping Owners and Contractors Stay Compliant
Overview
Compliance problems are easier to prevent than to fix.
We advise property owners and contractors on building and code compliance, code enforcement matters, home improvement contract requirements, mechanic’s lien exposure and local short-term rental rules.
For contractors, we help make sure contracts meet California requirements. For owners, we help resolve violations and reduce the risk of liens and penalties.
