About Engineering & Building Services Department

The Engineering Division of Engineering and Building Services Department works with the Public Works Department to maintain the City's infrastructure. This infrastructure includes storm drains for redirecting storm water, sewer lines for carrying wastewater to treatment plants, and the streets, alleys, and pavement which make up the City's traffic system.

To maintain the infrastructure Engineering manages the design and construction of City projects. Recent projects have included the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, Artesia Boulevard and Inglewood Avenue Improvements, Redondo Beach Municipal Pier Improvements and Residential Street Rehabilitation. Yet not all construction on the public right-of-way is done by the City. To ensure that the construction done by others is carried out properly and safely, Engineering also requires permits and inspections for all such construction.

Building & Safety Division

The Building & Safety Division is comprised of the Chief Building Officer and our staff of plan check engineers, inspectors, and administrative personnel. The Building & Safety Division's responsibility is the health and safety of the citizens of Redondo Beach and the general public who visit our city. We apply building code standards for many reasons, including public safety, the economic well being of the community, conservation and environmental concerns. At the same time, we endeavor to achieve an excellent level of public service in timeliness, courtesy, and quality. At our public counter you can find detailed and updated information for individual subjects, in the form of brochures and memorandums. Assistance is available to persons with physical disabilities.
