Every YDS guide for rebuilding after the January 2025 Eaton and Palisades fires, in one place. Each page is short and dated so you can tell what is still open.

The short version

  • Debris removal is done. The work now is permits, design and financing.
  • The FEMA registration deadline (March 31, 2025) and the Disaster Recovery Centers (closed May 31, 2025) are behind us.
  • Like-for-like rebuilds get expedited permits in both LA County and the City of LA.
  • Vacant single-family lots may qualify for an SB 1123 split into more homes.

How we use it

Mariposa Complex, 385 Mariposa St in Altadena, is our post-fire rebuild under SB 1123: three homes along a shared driveway, each with an attached ground-floor ADU. It won the 2026 AIA Pasadena & Foothill Rebuild Design Award. For more small-lot work, see SB 684 / SB 1123.
