Remodeling in Hancock Park
What is different about remodeling in Hancock Park?
Hancock Park is a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, adopted by the City Council in 2008, and its Preservation Plan sets out what needs review. The City's general HPOZ rule puts all exterior work under extra review. Hancock Park's plan is narrower. It exempts interior remodels, paint colors, rear facades and additions that stay out of street view and add less than 30% to the house. Visible changes to a side elevation go to the HPOZ Board as Conforming Work, and the Board has 21 days to make its recommendation. Changes to the front facade or the roofline of a contributing house, or a larger addition, need a Certificate of Appropriateness.
The plan is specific about windows. Most Hancock Park windows are wood-frame, true divided light, and replacements on street-visible facades should match the originals in size, pane pattern, material and profile. Filling in or resizing a street-facing window is generally inappropriate, and so is a greenhouse-style kitchen window that projects past the wall. The original windows were single-glazed, and the California Historical Building Code allows replacements that don't meet today's energy code if the owner wants to keep that look.
The houses are two-story Period Revival homes from the 1920s: Tudor, English, Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, Monterey and American Colonial Revival. Most sit 50 feet back from the street, with a side driveway that runs through a porte cochere to a garage in back. Inside, we plan kitchens, baths and primary suites around the existing walls and windows when we can, because then the project needs no HPOZ review at all. If you plan to apply for a Mills Act contract, call City Planning before any work starts. The plan notes that a house can lose Mills Act eligibility even when the work follows its guidelines.
Services in Hancock Park
What we do for Hancock Park homes.
Kitchen remodeling in Hancock Park
Period Revival kitchens look right with inset or framed doors, real wood and proportions that match the original millwork. Because we build the cabinets in our own workshop, we can match the style of a 1920s room instead of fitting catalog boxes into it.
Bathroom remodeling in Hancock Park
Many Hancock Park homes still have original 1920s bathrooms with hexagon floors and subway tile. We rebuild them with modern waterproofing and water-efficient fixtures and keep the period look the house was built with.
Whole-home remodeling
We remodel whole houses and condos as a single project, run by one project manager at a fixed price.
Room additions
Primary suites, family rooms and second stories, framed and finished to match the existing house.
ADU construction
Detached ADUs, garage conversions and JADUs, from the first site visit through final inspection.
Custom cabinetry
Kitchen cabinets, vanities, closets and built-ins, made to measure in our own workshop and installed by our crew.
Permits
Who issues remodel permits in Hancock Park?
Kitchens. Hancock Park is in the City of Los Angeles, so the building permit comes from LADBS, and a kitchen remodel with no structural changes is on its Express Permit list. The Hancock Park Preservation Plan exempts interior remodels from HPOZ review. If the kitchen plan changes a window or wall that can be seen from the street, City Planning's HPOZ staff have to sign off before LADBS issues the permit.
Bathrooms. Permits come from LADBS, and a bathroom remodel with no structural changes is on the Express Permit list. Interior work is exempt from Hancock Park HPOZ review. A new or resized bathroom window on a street-visible facade needs HPOZ approval first, and a Certificate of Appropriateness carries a 15-day appeal period before Planning signs off on the permit.
