As I understand it, the jobsite trailers were built on site, or nearby, and placed at their current location. In California, commercial modular structures like those you have there are typically factory built and bear the insignia of the CA Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the state agency that regulates the construction and certification of factory built housing and commercial structures. Your modular structures, have no such HCD insignia nor were they built with a City of La Quinta building permit to Title 24 standards. Before we consider moving forward with any electric service, you must first provide the proper, recognized HCD compliant modular buildings or submit plans and obtain permits, inspections and approvals for the structures that are currently constructed. As it stands now, you have unpermitted structures and no use or occupancy will be allowed. This information should have been posted on the trailers in the last week by our Code Enforcement team.
