What Is Getting Built in 91325, Los Angeles? — June 2026

Jun 12, 2026

So what is actually getting built inside the 91325 ZIP code in Los Angeles? Over the window of May 11 – June 9, 2026, this slice of the city carried 48 residential permits, and the dollar figure attached to them came to $1.1M, with a median valuation of $6,900 per permit. The headline category, by a wide margin, is alteration and repair work on one- and two-family dwellings — 39 of the permits fall there.

That answers the title question before the tables do: 91325 is a renovation neighborhood this month, not a ground-up construction one. A median near $6,900 paired with a four-figure permit count points to a stack of modest jobs — re-roofs, kitchen and bath updates, electrical and mechanical swaps — rather than a handful of large rebuilds. Every figure here is a ZIP-level cut of the same sealed Los Angeles snapshot the rest of this edition is built from, narrowed to a single postal code.

What the 91325 Numbers Say

  • ZIP 91325 recorded 48 residential building permits in this window, according to our sealed permit snapshots for Los Angeles.

  • The permits in 91325 carry a combined valuation of $1.1M, per the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety via data.lacity.org (Socrata).

  • The median permit valuation in 91325 is $6,900, a four-figure midpoint that defines the neighborhood as small-job territory.

  • Alteration and repair on 1 or 2 family dwellings leads with 39 permits, the dominant work type in the ZIP this window.

  • 91325 sits inside a Los Angeles metro that logged 4,042 residential permits, so this ZIP is one thread in a far larger fabric.

ZIP 91325 logged 48 residential permits worth $1.1M over May 11 – June 9, 2026, with a median valuation of $6,900 — a clear renovation profile.

A renovation-weighted ZIP behaves differently for everyone who reads permit data. A median of $6,900 means most of the activity is maintenance-grade work that homeowners commission directly, and the people who win in that market are the ones who reach the owner before the job is fully scoped.

ZIP 91325 Permit Activity, May 11 – June 9, 2026

The table below is the full sealed picture for this ZIP. There is one valuation total and one median; we never publish a row we cannot source from the snapshot.

Median valuation$6,900
Top categoryBldg-Alter/Repair / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling
Reporting windowMay 11 – June 9, 2026

The shape matters more than any single figure. A total of $1.1M divided across 48 permits, anchored by a $6,900 median, tells you the distribution is bottom-heavy: a long line of small permits, possibly with one or two larger jobs lifting the total. That is a textbook home-improvement signal, and it is exactly the kind of cross-sectional read our pipeline is built to surface.

It is worth being explicit about what the median does and does not say. A $6,900 midpoint is not the average job size and it is not a ceiling — it is the point where half the permits fall below and half above. In a renovation ZIP, that midpoint tends to land low because so many filings are single-system jobs: a re-roof here, a panel upgrade there, a bathroom remodel down the block.

When a market like that produces a $1.1M total, the arithmetic almost forces the conclusion that volume, not size, is doing the work. That is a different business than a luxury-rebuild ZIP, and it rewards a different playbook: consistent presence, fast response, and trust built one small job at a time rather than one large bid.

A Closer Look at the Work Types in 91325

This is the section that earns the page, so we break the activity apart by the kind of job behind each permit. The 91325 mix is led, decisively, by one category.

Alteration & Repair (Bldg-Alter/Repair / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling)

With 39 permits, alteration and repair is the engine of 91325 this window. In Los Angeles, a Bldg-Alter/Repair / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling permit covers changes to an existing house that do not add new floor area: re-roofing, replacing windows, rewiring, swapping HVAC equipment, bathroom and kitchen remodels, foundation repair, and similar work on a structure that already stands.

These jobs are usually owner-initiated and triggered by something concrete — a failed water heater, a leaking roof, a kitchen the family finally decided to redo. Because the scope is bounded, the valuations stay modest, which is why this category sits comfortably under the $6,900 median for most filings.

For a contractor, this category is the bread-and-butter of a stable residential book. For a supplier, it is steady pull-through on roofing, fixtures, electrical, and finish materials. The permit is the moment the intent becomes public record — and the moment a well-run outreach workflow can act on it.

Additions and New Construction

Two other residential categories appear in the broader Los Angeles snapshot and frame what 91325 is not doing heavily this window. A Bldg-Addition / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling permit is for adding square footage — a room, a second story, an accessory dwelling unit — which carries more design, structural review, and cost than a like-for-like repair. A Bldg-New / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling permit is ground-up construction of a home.

Across the metro, additions logged 422 permits and new dwellings logged 359, while alteration and repair towered over both at 2,486. In a renovation-led ZIP like 91325, that metro-wide pattern is amplified: the upgrade-in-place work dominates, and ground-up activity is the exception, not the rule.

Across Los Angeles, alteration and repair recorded 2,486 permits versus 422 additions and 359 new dwellings — and 91325 leans even harder toward upgrades.

The practical read for anyone working 91325: plan around remodels and repairs, not new starts. Inventory, crews, and outreach should be tuned for fast-turn improvement jobs.

The table below puts the leading 91325 category beside the three residential categories that shape the Los Angeles metro mix, so the local emphasis is easy to see against the citywide pattern.

CategoryPermits
Bldg-Alter/Repair / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling (91325)39
Bldg-Alter/Repair / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling (metro)2,486
Bldg-Addition / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling (metro)422
Bldg-New / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling (metro)359

Read top to bottom, the table makes the point plainly. Alteration and repair is the largest residential bucket both inside 91325 and across the whole city, but in this ZIP it is close to the entire story: 39 of the 48 permits sit in that one category. Additions and new dwellings, which together carry hundreds of permits at the metro level, barely register here. A neighborhood that renovates rather than rebuilds is a neighborhood where the next job is usually a phone call about an existing home, and where speed-to-owner beats almost any other advantage.

How 91325 Compares Within Los Angeles

A single ZIP only means something next to its neighbors. The table places 91325 against the busiest residential ZIPs in the same sealed Los Angeles snapshot, then against the metro headline row. The far-larger ZIPs near the top of the city are doing a different job than 91325 is.

AreaPermitsTotal valuation
ZIP 90272388$66.2M
ZIP 90049130$4.9M
ZIP 9134495$2.4M
ZIP 9006694$4.2M
ZIP 9136790$6.0M
ZIP 9133583$4.3M
ZIP 9136479$1.5M
ZIP 9160472$3.4M
ZIP 9004271$2.0M
ZIP 9003967$6.0M
ZIP 9132548$1.1M
Los Angeles (metro)4,042$201.2M

The contrast is instructive. ZIP 90272 alone carries 388 permits and $66.2M in valuation — a high-dollar, high-volume profile that looks nothing like 91325. Mid-tier ZIPs such as 91367 and 90039 each show 90 and 67 permits against $6.0M, while 91325, with 48 permits and $1.1M, sits firmly in the smaller-volume, modest-valuation band. For agents reading pre-listing signals or contractors choosing where to canvass, that placement is the whole point: 91325 is a steady-renovation pocket, not a luxury rebuild corridor, and the outreach that fits it is different from what wins in 90272.

How We Compute This Slice

Source: Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety via data.lacity.org (Socrata). All figures are computed directly from US Tech Automations' sealed daily permit snapshots; nothing is estimated, modeled, or extrapolated.

Scope: residential building permits (single-family and small multi-family); commercial and sub-trade permits are excluded at ingest. This is not a count of all construction permits issued in each city. The 91325 figures are a ZIP-level cut of the same sealed Los Angeles snapshot that drives the metro report — same records, narrowed to one postal code, never recomputed against a different source.

Here is how a slice like this one is produced:

  1. Collect. We pull residential permit records for Los Angeles from the Socrata feed each day, capturing them point-in-time before anything downstream touches them.

  2. Normalize. Records are mapped to a consistent schema, ZIP and category labels are standardized, and the residential scope filter is applied at ingest.

  3. Seal daily. Each day's normalized snapshot is content-hashed and stored append-only, so the underlying data for any window cannot drift after the fact.

  4. Aggregate over the window. For 91325, we filter the sealed records to the ZIP and the reporting window, then read off permits, valuation total, median, and the leading category — no rounding or estimation in between.

A sealed snapshot is a hashed, point-in-time copy of public records stored before analysis, so anyone can later confirm the figures came from the data as it stood, not from a later edit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this count every construction permit in 91325?
A: No. The 48 permits cover residential building permits only — single-family and small multi-family. Commercial and sub-trade permits are excluded at ingest, so this is not a count of all construction activity in the ZIP. It is a focused, residential-only view.

Q: Why is the median valuation only $6,900?
A: A median of $6,900 means half the permits in 91325 are valued at or below that figure. With alteration and repair leading at 39 permits, most filings are modest upgrade jobs — re-roofs, system swaps, remodels — rather than large rebuilds. The low median is the signature of a maintenance-and-renovation market.

Q: Who actually pulls these permits?
A: For alteration and repair work on one- and two-family homes, permits are typically pulled by the licensed contractor doing the job or by the homeowner directly. The filing marks the point where a private renovation decision becomes a public record that suppliers, agents, and lenders can read.

Q: How does 91325 compare to the rest of Los Angeles?
A: It is a smaller-volume, modest-valuation pocket. With 48 permits and $1.1M, 91325 sits well below high-dollar ZIPs like 90272 at 388 permits and $66.2M, and below mid-tier ZIPs like 91367 at 90 permits. The metro as a whole logged 4,042 permits worth $201.2M.

Q: Can I trust that these numbers will not change later?
A: Yes. Every figure is read from sealed daily snapshots that are hashed and stored append-only. The window of May 11 – June 9, 2026 is fixed, and our pipeline cannot quietly recompute it against a different source after publication.

Put This Permit Data to Work in 91325

A renovation-led ZIP like 91325 is a workflow, not just a statistic. Contractors use it to decide which streets to canvass and which trades to staff. Suppliers time roofing and fixture inventory to where the alteration-and-repair volume actually sits. Real-estate agents read repair permits as pre-listing signals — a homeowner improving a property is often a homeowner preparing to sell. Lenders read the same filings as renovation-demand indicators for a neighborhood.

The hard part is not the data; it is acting on each new permit fast, before competitors do. We build automations that monitor permit feeds for a ZIP, route fresh filings to the right rep, and draft compliant outreach the moment a record appears. The discipline behind it is the same sealed-snapshot rigor shown here — you can browse the live source at permits.ustechautomations.com, and the methodology is identical to our permit prediction ledger, where sealed predictions are scored against public outcomes.

If you work neighboring San Fernando Valley pockets, the companion ZIP report up the freeway and the adjacent west-Valley ZIP breakdown apply the same cut to their own postal codes.
