Commercial Electrical Code Compliance & Corrections in West Hollywood
From the Sunset Strip to the Design District, West Hollywood businesses operate under bright lights and high expectations. Our Commercial Electrical Code Compliance & Corrections service keeps your property safe, legal, and open for business—whether you manage a mixed\u2011use building on Santa Monica Boulevard, a retail showroom by the Pacific Design Center, or a boutique hotel off La Cienega. We identify violations, plan precise corrections, and coordinate permits so you avoid fines, downtime, and risk. Shaffer Construction, Inc. is a trusted C\u201110 electrical contractor specializing in multi\u2011tenant and hospitality environments. We work after-hours and in phases to minimize disruption and deliver clean, documented results that pass inspection the first time.
Our Work
Benefits
Modern Compliance, Lasting Safety
We design code corrections that set you up for what’s next: smart panels with load monitoring, branch-circuit metering for tenant billing, scalable EV load management, and networked lighting controls (e.g., Lutron Vive, nLight) that meet Title 24 today and expand tomorrow. Our team performs load studies and short-circuit/coordination reviews to ensure protective devices are properly rated. Where practical, we integrate surge protection, power quality filtering, and labeled one-line diagrams so future improvements are faster, safer, and more predictable.
Full Permit and Code Assurance
Shaffer Construction manages the full compliance pathway: we prepare permit packages, submit to the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division, and coordinate inspections. Our corrections align with the California Electrical Code (Title 24, Part 3), California Energy Code lighting requirements (Title 24, Part 6), and applicable NFPA standards. For nonresidential lighting, we coordinate Acceptance Testing with certified providers. If service equipment changes trigger Southern California Edison requirements, we handle utility coordination to keep your schedule on track.
Precision in Every Project
We use specification-grade materials that stand up to heavy commercial use: copper THHN/THWN‑2 conductors in EMT, UL-listed enclosures, Type 1/2 SPDs at services and key panels, and industrial-grade receptacles and breakers from trusted manufacturers. All terminations are torque-verified per listing, with labeling per CEC 110.22. Our crews follow NFPA 70E work practices, maintain clean work areas, and deliver photo-documented corrections. Expect tight bends, proper support and spacing, compliant firestopping, and a system that looks as good as it performs.
Tailored Code Compliance Strategies
Every WeHo property is different. We start with a detailed survey—panel schedules, infrared scans for hot spots, sample load logging, and a room-by-room code checklist. Then we draft a prioritized correction plan balancing life safety, operational risk, budget, and the inspection path. We coordinate with property managers, HOAs, and tenants to phase work after-hours where needed, and we provide clear drawings, one-line updates, and labeling standards so maintenance teams can keep systems compliant long after we leave.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in West Hollywood for small electrical corrections?+
Many minor device replacements do not require permits, but panel work, service equipment changes, lighting control modifications, and EV readiness typically do. We’ll review your violation list, confirm with the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division, and pursue over‑the‑counter or plan check permits as needed to avoid inspection delays.
Can you perform corrections after-hours so my business stays open?+
Yes. We regularly schedule night or early‑morning work for restaurants, clubs on the Sunset Strip, and retailers near the Pacific Design Center. We phase circuits, set up temporary power where needed, and coordinate inspections to keep your operations running with minimal disruption.
How long will the process take, including permits?+
Corrections typically take 1–5 days depending on scope. If permits are required, the City of West Hollywood’s timeline is commonly 1–3 weeks for approval. We begin material procurement and coordination in parallel to compress the overall schedule and target first‑pass inspection approvals.
What if my building has historic elements?+
We protect architectural finishes and plan routes to minimize visible impact. If exterior conduits or fixtures are affected, we coordinate with the City’s Historic Preservation staff as required. We propose solutions that maintain aesthetics while achieving code compliance, such as concealed raceways and matching fixture styles.
Do you coordinate with Southern California Edison for meter or service upgrades?+
Absolutely. If corrections trigger meter/main changes or increased service capacity, we handle SCE applications, scheduling, and cutover. We design to proper fault current ratings, install utility‑approved equipment, and plan outages to minimize tenant impact.
