Inglewood, CA Building Safety: Green Building Code (2026)

11 makes CALGreen compliance a condition of every City building permit for new construction and additions or alterations that fall within CALGreen's scope, and tells applicants that where the City's own recycling-space rule and CALGreen conflict, whichever standard is more stringent controls. Two size triggers set the recycling-space mandate: first, any building site with five or more multifamily dwelling units must provide readily accessible areas, serving all buildings on the site, identified for storing and collecting blue-container recyclables and organic-materials-container waste, consistent with the franchisee's three-container program; second, any new commercial or multifamily construction, or an addition, that adds more than thirty percent of the existing floor area must meet the same accessible-space standard.

1 of Title 24, Part 11, as long as the amended City requirements (effective January 1, 2020) are at least as strict. Permit applicants must also comply with CALGreen's construction and demolition debris management rules, including diverting organic waste found in C&D debris from landfill disposal, and with Inglewood's own C&D recycling ordinance in Chapter 7, Article 7, plus any written City policy on tracking or reporting C&D debris. 13 if a completed project later fails to provide the required recycling space.
