Compliance Services
Three mandates. One team. No surprises.
Energy & Water Benchmarking
Annual ENERGY STAR reporting for AB 802 and EBEWE. We handle data collection, utility coordination, and CEC/LADBS submission — including LA's 20,000 SF threshold most owners miss.
Soft-Story Seismic Retrofit
PE-stamped evaluation, engineered retrofit plans, permitted construction, and final sign-off. One team from screening form to certificate of completion.
CASp Accessibility Inspections
Licensed CASp inspection with detailed compliance report and remediation plan. A CASp report is the strongest legal shield against serial ADA plaintiffs in California.
Do I Need This?
Answer three questions about your building.
1. Where is your building?
2. How large is your building?
3. Was it built before 1978 with ground-floor parking?
AB 802 vs. EBEWE — What's the Difference?
Two separate mandates, one June 1 deadline. Most LA owners need both.
| Requirement | AB 802 (Statewide) | EBEWE (LA City) |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Building Size | 50,000 SF | 20,000 SF |
| Tracks | Energy only | Energy + Water |
| Files With | CEC | LADBS |
| Deadline | June 1 annually | June 1 annually |
| Audit Required? | No | Every 5 years |
| PE Required? | No | Yes, for audits |
| Penalty | $500–$2,000/day | $202 + 250% late fee |
| Public Disclosure | Yes | Yes — affects transactions |
