The city of Long Beach is home to 17 designated historic districts, each neighborhood built in a common era. Often, homes are similar in architectural style and overall appearance, forming a distinct and cohesive unit. If your home is located in Cal Heights, Bluff Park, Belmont Shore or another historic neighborhood, virtually any remodeling project will have to go through an extensive review process, which – if done improperly – can take many months to complete. Even interior work, such as kitchen remodels, require special attention in a historic district. Small details, like a window made from the wrong material or painted the wrong color, can cause your remodel to be delayed or prolonged, and even incur steep fines! The lengthy bureaucratic screening focuses on all aspects of your house, including structure, appearance, materials and even landscaping, and, if approved, will result in a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Cultural Heritage Commission. Obtaining this is an absolute necessity to start work in a Long Beach Historic district construction project!
