LA County does not require a specific liability insurance amount, but Hosts must provide working smoke detectors, CO detectors, flashlights, and tagged fire extinguishers (7.96.070.F-G).
Section 7.96.070.F requires the Host to provide and maintain working smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and flashlights on the premises. Section 7.96.070.G requires adequate and readily accessible fire extinguishers, each with a tag showing the most recent inspection date. Section 7.96.070.H requires posting (1) maximum occupancy, (2) parking info, (3) trash/recycling info, (4) the 24/7 Local Responsible Contact, (5) emergency contacts, and (6) an evacuation plan with exit routes and extinguisher locations. STRs in high fire hazard zones (designated under Title 32 Appendix P) must post 'no smoking and no open flame' notices both on the listing and exterior (7.96.060.O).
Operating without required safety equipment or postings is a violation under Section 7.96.110.
