Please report any concerns to the listed agencies. you can also call 311 to report graffiti sightings (and many other issues) throughout Los Angeles. Increased reporting by many residents will help the City find a lasting solution to this issue.

For Regulation IV

City of Los Angeles Fire Chiefs

5 Year Standpipe/ Fire Sprinkler Inspections

Next week on Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at 9:00 am, there is a mandated 5-year standpipe and fire sprinkler inspection for the LUMA high-rise building.

This inspection will be conducted by Gene Pira Inc., the same contractor LUMA has relied on for our Reg 4 testing for the past 12 years.

A designated LUMA employee will accompany the Gene PIRA Inc. Reg 4 inspection personnel during their entry into all units.

The unit inspections will be as follows. There will be three groups inspecting the units. So, the residential floors will be broken down into three sections for the inspection.

 Residential Units Inspection Workflow

1-     Floors 2-8 starting on the 8^th floor and working down.

2-     Floors 9-14 starting on the 14^th floor and working down.

3-     Floors 15-PH2 starting on PH2 and working down.

As of right now, the entire process is expected to last from 9am-4pm. We are estimating about 45-60 minutes per floor.

This requirement necessitates the inspection of all fire sprinklers within the building, encompassing both residential units and residential storage rooms. Each unit will be accessed to visually inspect the fire sprinklers for any issues, ensuring no sprinkler heads are painted, obstructed, etc.

We will also be inspecting various plumbing fixtures for any leaks as part of our water conservation efforts. 

This test is a prerequisite from LUMA’s insurance provider and must be completed to maintain continuous coverage. Your individual insurance carrier for your unit may also demand this inspection when renewing your policy or switching to another insurance provider.

Failure to permit entry into your unit for this inspection will necessitate a reinspection at the owner’s expense. This is a mandatory inspection for everyone’s safety. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Please note that no fire alarms will be tested during this inspection.
