Developers Now Required To Post Project Descriptions At Work Sites

LOS ANGELES - Beginning Tuesday, developers will be required to post a brief project description and other information at all construction sites in Los Angeles.

The initiative is aimed at reducing noise and enforcing rules at job sites to minimize disruptions sometimes caused during construction projects.

"At some time in our lives, we've all been inconvenienced by the noise, dust and traffic delays caused by construction in residential areas," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Friday.

"This new ordinance will step up enforcement of these disturbances and encourage good relationships between residents and builders."

The ordinance will require developers to:

    • avoid street closures during peak traffic hours
    • park construction vehicles on-site, rather than on residential streets
    • ensure safe pedestrian access
    • promptly clean-up and spills or construction debris
    • avoid interfering with trash pick-ups

Councilman Jack Weiss introduced the "Good Neighbor Posting Initiative."

"This construction doesn't have to disrupt otherwise peaceful neighborhoods if developers and builders are good neighbors," he said last week. "By informing builders and residents about the rules, I hope we can reduce nuisances during construction and ensure that city laws are followed."
