The City of Los Angeles requires telephone and data systems to have a permit prior to installation of the phone service and data cabling.  Telephone/data system installation and servicing must be coordinated between the Tenant and telephone company of your choice.  Three important items must be remembered when you order your telephone service.

1. The Los Angeles Building Code requires all telephone lines to be installed in conduit or to be Teflon coated. Many telephone service providers do not provide for these requirements in their bid.
2. Major telephone systems often require additional air conditioning or ventilation to cool their mini-computers. If this equipment produces 1000 BTUs per hour or more, you may need to install additional air conditioning or ventilation.
3. All building telephone closets are locked to prevent tampering.  Please contact Building Management to have the doors opened for service or installation of wiring.

Please advise your selected phone and data companies to obtain the required permits from the Electrical Department at Van Nuys City Hall.

We suggest that this be expedited in a timely manner so that the L.A. City Electrical Inspector will clear the permit.

Without said permit and approval, occupancy of your premises cannot be obtained.

Douglas Emmett restricts entry into the main telephone room and individual floor telephone rooms.  Please contact the Office of the Building for further information.  You may contract with your desired telephone installer to work within your suite only.
