Median Permit in 91335: $7,501 on 83 Filings — June 2026

Reseda, in the central San Fernando Valley, files a lot of permits — and almost all of them are small. Over the window of May 11 – June 9, 2026, ZIP 91335 recorded 83 residential building permits, yet the median permit carried a valuation of just $7,501. That gap between count and size is the whole story of this neighborhood, and it is what this report is about.

Every figure here is a slice of Los Angeles' sealed daily permit snapshot — the same dataset behind our citywide Los Angeles report for June 2026, cut down to a single ZIP. A building permit is the city's written authorization to legally start a specific construction job; a sealed snapshot is a frozen, content-hashed copy of that public record on a given day. Nothing below is estimated, modeled, or extrapolated — and in 91335, the median says most of the work is repairs, swaps, and small upgrades rather than ground-up building.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is 91335 a busy permit market or a quiet one?
A: Busy by count. ZIP 91335 recorded 83 residential permits over May 11 – June 9, 2026, which puts it among the more active ZIPs in Los Angeles. But the $7,501 median valuation shows the activity is built on many small jobs rather than a few large projects.

Q: Why is the median valuation only $7,501?
A: Because most permits here are repairs and alterations, not new construction. The $7,501 median means half of the ZIP's permits came in below that figure. Re-roofs, electrical and plumbing fixes, and small remodels routinely carry low declared valuations, and they dominate the 91335 mix.

Q: What kind of work is most common in 91335?
A: Alteration and repair on existing homes. The top category — Bldg-Alter/Repair / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling — accounted for 56 of the ZIP's permits. That is work on homes that already exist: kitchens, bathrooms, systems, and structural repairs rather than new builds.

Q: Does $4.3M cover every permit in 91335?
A: It covers the permits in the sealed residential snapshot for this ZIP. The $4.3M total valuation is the sum of declared job values for 91335 over the window. Commercial and sub-trade permits are excluded at ingest, so this is residential renovation and building activity, not all construction.

Q: Who actually pulls these 91335 permits?
A: A mix of homeowners and the contractors working for them. For alteration and repair jobs, the general contractor or a licensed sub usually pulls the permit. The high count with a low median points to a market served by smaller residential outfits doing steady, repeatable work.

Q: Is this a count of all construction in 91335?
A: No. This is residential building permits — single-family and small multi-family — and commercial and sub-trade permits are excluded at ingest. This is not a count of all construction permits issued in each city.

Permit Activity in ZIP 91335, May 11 – June 9, 2026

The headline figures for the ZIP fit on one line: a strong count, a modest median, and a total that confirms small jobs carry the market.

A median of $7,501 against a $4.3M total is the distribution talking. If the typical permit is around seven thousand dollars but the sum across 83 jobs reaches several million, the spread is wide — a body of small jobs with a handful of larger ones pulling the total up. For anyone serving this ZIP, that shape matters more than any single number: the work is in steady, repeatable, mid-four-figure projects, with occasional larger remodels worth chasing separately.

Total residential valuation in ZIP 91335 reached $4.3M over the window, built on 83 permits with a median of $7,501 — the signature of a small-job market.

What Is Getting Built in 91335

The dominant category in this ZIP is Bldg-Alter/Repair / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling, branded in our reports as Alteration & Repair, and it accounts for 56 of the 83 permits. That single category — alterations and repairs to one- and two-family homes — is the engine of 91335's permit volume. The pattern is not unique to Reseda: the same label leads the citywide mix by a wide margin.

An alteration-and-repair permit covers work on a structure that already exists. In Los Angeles, that bucket is broad: re-roofing, foundation and structural repair, re-wiring, re-piping, window and door replacement, interior remodels, and the everyday work of keeping older Valley housing stock sound. It does not cover ground-up construction, and it does not cover detached additions — those are separate categories in the LADBS taxonomy. When a 91335 homeowner replaces a failing roof, opens up a kitchen, or repairs storm damage, this is the permit that gets pulled.

That 56-permit concentration explains the low median directly. Alteration and repair jobs are, by their nature, smaller than new builds. A re-roof or a bathroom remodel declares a fraction of what a new dwelling does, so a ZIP whose permits are mostly alterations will carry a low median almost by definition. The $7,501 figure is not a sign of a weak market — it is what a healthy, renovation-driven neighborhood looks like in the data.

For the people who read this signal, the category is the lead. A roofing supplier or an electrical contractor reads 56 alteration-and-repair permits as a pipeline of homes actively under work right now. A real estate agent reads the same line as a neighborhood of owners investing in what they have rather than selling — useful context for timing outreach. The category, not the dollar total, is the actionable part.

How 91335 Compares Across Los Angeles ZIPs

ZIP 91335 does not file in isolation. Set against the other leading Los Angeles ZIPs in the sealed snapshot, its profile is clearly the high-count, low-valuation type — strong on permits, light on dollars per job. The table below places 91335 next to its sibling ZIPs and the citywide headline.

The contrast with 90272 is the clearest read on the table. That ZIP files 388 permits worth $66.2M — far higher dollars per permit, the mark of a luxury, big-build market. ZIP 91335 sits in a different lane entirely: a respectable 83 permits but only $4.3M behind them, a value-per-job that lands much closer to its Valley neighbors than to the Westside high-ticket ZIPs. Compared with nearby 91367 ($6.0M on 90 permits) and 91604 ($3.4M on 72 permits), 91335 looks like exactly what it is — a dense, working-homeowner ZIP whose strength is volume.

Against the citywide line of 4,042 permits and $201.2M, 91335's 83 permits are a small but consistent slice. The point of the comparison is not rank; it is character. Two ZIPs can file similar permit counts and serve completely different trades. The contractor who wins in 91335 is not the one chasing the rare $4,000,000 job — that ceiling exists citywide — but the one who can run a high volume of mid-four-figure repairs efficiently.

How This Data Is Built

This report is a ZIP-level cut of the same sealed snapshots behind our citywide Los Angeles coverage. The source is the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety via data.lacity.org (Socrata). The honesty statement governs every figure on the page: all figures are computed directly from US Tech Automations' sealed daily permit snapshots; nothing is estimated, modeled, or extrapolated.

Scope is residential by design: 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. So the 83 permits and $4.3M total describe residential renovation and building activity in 91335, not the full construction picture. Across the city, valuation is present on 3,779 of 4,042 permits — a 93.5% coverage rate — which is why valuation rows are read as a near-complete but not total view of declared job value.

The research desk builds the ZIP slice the same way every day:

1. Collect. Pull the day's new and updated residential permit records from the LADBS Socrata feed via data.lacity.org.

2. Normalize. Standardize ZIP codes, category labels, and valuation fields, and drop commercial and sub-trade records at ingest.

3. Seal daily. Freeze the normalized day into a content-hashed snapshot so the record cannot be silently revised after the fact.

4. Aggregate over the window. Sum and rank the sealed days across May 11 – June 9, 2026, then filter to ZIP 91335 to produce the figures above.

The daily seal is what makes a ZIP report like this verifiable rather than just asserted. Because each day is hashed and append-only, the 83-permit count for 91335 traces back to specific frozen records, and our permit prediction ledger for June 2026 extends the same discipline to predictions scored against later public outcomes.

Put Permit Data to Work

A line like "56 alteration-and-repair permits in 91335 this month" is only useful if it reaches the right desk in time. That is the gap we close — turning a sealed permit snapshot into a working signal for the people who serve this ZIP.

Contractors use it to qualify a neighborhood before they market into it: 83 permits with a $7,501 median tells a roofer or remodeler that 91335 is a volume play, not a luxury one, and helps them decide where to spend their week. Suppliers time inventory against the category mix — a ZIP heavy on alteration and repair signals demand for repair-grade materials, not new-construction packages. Lenders and agents read renovation volume as a proxy for owner investment and pre-listing intent, a quiet tell about which streets are getting work done.

The raw feed lives behind our public permits service at permits.ustechautomations.com, updated from the same sealed snapshots used here. US Tech Automations wraps that data in automated workflows — monitoring new permits as they post, routing the ones that match a target ZIP or category to the right rep, and drafting first-touch outreach so a contractor learns about a 91335 alteration permit while the job is still being scheduled. The discipline is the point: every alert traces back to a sealed record, so the signal you act on is the signal that actually exists.
