"We turn complex city bureaucracy into approved plans. Fast, efficient, and fully compliant."
We act as your direct line to the Department of Building and Safety. Our team manages the entire permitting lifecycle — initial submittal, plan check, clearing corrections and obtaining the final RTI (Ready to Issue) permit — so construction can start sooner and you are not the one chasing departments.
Permits stall for predictable reasons: incomplete submittals, corrections that sit unanswered, clearances missed across departments. Knowing what each plan checker looks for is most of the job.
We manage the full lifecycle of the application: submitting to plan check, clearing corrections across every department involved — Fire, Green, Grading — and securing final RTI status so the permit can be pulled.
If you have received a citation for unpermitted construction, we specialize in legalizing garage conversions, additions and patios. We prepare as-built plans and guide them through the retroactive permitting process to update your property records and avoid demolition.
We work directly with LADBS inspectors to resolve Order to Comply notices — assessing the violation, preparing correction plans and moving them through approval to clear the violation from your property title.
We identify the fastest legitimate approval path for each project. Minor alterations and tenant improvements can often be handled as same-day over-the-counter approvals; larger projects go through the standard review with active follow-up.
Expediting is far easier when the plan set was built for approval in the first place. Because our architects and engineers prepare the drawings we submit, corrections are fewer and the ones that do come back are resolved by the people who drew the sheet.
Whether you are starting a submittal, stuck in corrections or dealing with unpermitted work, contact YD Group and we will tell you what the path to approval looks like.
